So you say that it loads pages from the swap file wich aren't being swapped
out before?? OS/2 v2.x does swap pages from an executable (.EXE-, DLL-files)
file out to the swap file and reloads them from the swap page. I don't
remember how OS/2 Warp 3 does it.

IIRC, OS/2 (at least Warp 4) reloads pages from an executable file (such as
.EXE-, .DLL-files) from that executable file where it is loaded from again
(and not from the swap file) when it's needed again.
