It is often easier to structure things in a way that allow for more features as it forces to structure in a more flexible way, which then leads to better maintainability of the code in the long run. That doesn't require any more time or code; just a bit more thinking in the beginning. Compared to using a raw shared memory file (where you have to hack around a create some kind of limited communication protocol for various commands), the structure I proposed would require much less code and be much cleaner. Easier to program, more stable and easier to debug and maintain, and the user probably wouldn't see any performance difference.

Ok, Memory-Mapped Files use Virtual Memory. Still, there are various commands that must be sent back and forth, such as getting information about the script and error reporting. Doing that the C way with a raw file as if we were in the 1990's would be pointless, especially when using C#.

At the end of the day, unless kagetoki needs help programming it, he's the one who's going to decide how he's going to do it -- or even do it at all.
