When I first read about persistance in EROS I though it was great, but 
there is still the problem that after a crash you are transported back 
in time. Doesn't this create more troubles than it solves? Especially in 
networked environments. I'm think about the case where my 'files' are 
stored on another computer, in particular. I also read EROS/KesKOS allow 
programs to force a snapshot, if this happens frequently doesn't this 
greatly reduce performance?
