It’s not clear what you mean by a distributed system in this context, but RAM is used for caching, costs or no.

Caching is way more impactful than a 1% speed up. It is hard to know exactly, because it is impossible to disable on most modern operating systems, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were an order of magnitude improvement in some situations.

By the way, caching doesn’t prevent RAM for being used by applications. If an application wants more memory, the os can always just evict some of the cache.

Or better yet:

curl $URL

less $FILE

bash $FILE

This attack only works at all if you download something and execute it immediately without looking at it.

The ability to seek justice isn't a necessity in the same way that medical care is.

That is correct, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
