[comp.sys.atari.st] Does the ST have a fast enough I/O system?

With the DMA bus at something like 5 m-bits a second, and that being
the fastest I/O port the ST has, is virtual memory on the ST's 
a realistic thought?  Of course, I am considering a different operating
system (MINIX??? && X-Windows!!!), but the hardware will remain the same.
I naturally assumed different hard drives, since the drives in the Atari
Hard drives probably do not have the best seek times...

Any thoughts, comments??
