The article discusses how long computer memory pages should last and their optimal sizes based on economic and performance factors. It suggests that randomly accessed pages should last about five minutes, two-pass sequentially accessed pages about one minute, and index pages should be around 16 KB in size. These rules change as technology advances. The study also introduces new metrics like Kaps, Maps, Scans, and cost-related metrics to evaluate computer storage efficiency.
