It is very true that having a local paging disk helps out a lot.
Here at MIT, the experience with Lisp Machines has been that file access
over the CHAOSNet (roughly like a 4MHz Ethernet) is actually just as fast,
or even faster, than access to local files (even when the file server
itself is a timesharing system).  Most of the advantages of having paging
segments shared on a remote computer can be simulated with the appropiate
net protocols.
