Well, we need relative pointers for the shared memory by definition, simply
because the shared memory can and with 99% probability will be mapped at a
different address in memory. Games with live update can be nice and we could
benefit from that, but relative pointers are just crucial for the basic
functionality.

All the other things, like:
 • Storing the image to disk for faster load
 • Storing the image to disk for debug purposes
 • Sending the image across network for cluster uses
 • Live updates
Are nice bonuses we could get with little bit of additional work. But I'd like
us to simply remember these are possible and not worry about them too much now
(just making sure we don't lose the possibility by some stupid small detail).

With regard
