But just imagine that such kind of page will be changed at runtime, 
e.g. due to current movie aspect ratio chang at runtime by first 
instance of mplayer. There are 2 possibilities: 1) pages should be 
marked somehow as absolutely unchangable by application (and this 
will reduce memory saving greatly) or 2) kernel must perform check 
for no changes (probably rehash) each reused page each time 
accessing it, this may utilize CPU greatly. So statement about 
efficiency of reusing memory pages seems to be rather questionable 
for me.
