[ale] Questions about shared memory usage in K12LTSP

[networkr0 at cfl.rr.com (Brian Chase)]

I have read in the K12LTSP distro's documentation that you can allow 
workstations to run applications using their own RAM.  From what I can 
tell, that's all or nothing, hoping I'm wrong.

When you configure LTSP to run applications locally on a given 
workstation, is the system smart enough to borrow memory from the server 
for larger applications that the thin client doesn't have enough memory 
to run, or is it stuck with the local RAM to try and get everything done 
forevermore?

Anyone with direct experience enabling LTSP thin clients to run 
applications locally including performance observations, any measurements 
taken, and overall operational improvements, I'd be most interested in 
hearing about them.
