Assume that you are monitoring the rate at which the pointer in the clock algorithm (which indicates the candidate page for replacement) moves. What can you say about the system if you notice the following behavior:
a. pointer is moving fast
b. pointer is moving slow
cannot be replaced. This results in more scanning of the pages before a victim page is found. If the pointer is moving slow, then the virtual
memory system is finding candidate pages for replacement extremely efficiently, indicating that many of the resident pages are not being
