As will memory compression in 10.9 - VMware did a bunch of benchmarking of memory compression, which they implement on their ESXi hypervisors, and in memory contention scenarios, it reduces the need for swapping by up to 85%.
This and a few other under-the-hood features are going to be superb for the Macbook Air line of machines (and the Pro's of course, but the Air in particular is going to love this)
