OSs hibernate. Processes don't. Can anybody (functionally) explain me why not? Doesn't anybody feel the need to hibernate processes, saving memory usage? We know that OSs reclaim most of memory when not needed, but I can still find useful to hibernate some process in order to start another one, and switch them whenever necessary.
