I found this article interesting and enlightening. But more as an article about memory managers and filesystems, than about the book. The book seemed almost forgotten midway through.

If the article were a wiki page, I'd split it into two articles: a book review, and a brief history of KMA and filesystems.

As I understand it, those are the two most important chapters in the book, and the two with continuing relevance despite the book's age.

Jon won't publish straight book reviews - he insists on this annoying "technical content" business.
