More like fork than memmerge:

On a sort of related note, I was wondering if it was on any roadmap to
support RAM sharing between OS instances -- like with VMware's clone
feature (or something like that), I think if you had two very similar
VMs, they would actually use less RAM and disk than each have, they
would just diverge where they are different (some sort of
copy-on-write scheme).

Thanks
