You can do this right now.  If you aren't using init, simply change initrc
to start Switch-It!.  If you're using init, create an account that will start
Switch-It! after you type in the user name and password.

I've read your other post about stack-sharing.  Most applications written
recently uses 4k of stack, which is why it can be very very useful most
of the times.

When you turn stack-sharing off, of course it's faster.  It doesn't stack
swap anymore.
