Poll - Use secure virtual memory - yes or no? - yeoman - 03-28-2008

Revisiting a question I asked a while ago (not fully answered), Leopard default for Secure Virtual Memory is "ON" (Sys Prefs/Security/General). There's probably a slight performance hit from encrypting but not that I've noticed. Question: who deactivates (unchecks) the default ON setting?

Defaulted to "OFF" on my G5. My machine is in my house, behind a firewall, with an intelligent owner. I don't see the need to secure my virtual memory.
