Re: Disadvantages on having too many page slots?

Other than hard disk space, are there any disadvantages on

It's not using hard disk space, it's using shared memory, so you might
want to adjust it to make that memory available for other purposes...

AFAIK, the FSM is written out during a clean shutdown... so from that standpoint it does take disk space. But obviously the memory usage is the only real concern.
