The Amiga OS does.

Also, if you use the acquire_mem() and release_mem() routines that come with
win32lib.ew, you do not "lose" memory. The release_mem() routine gives back
the memory to Windows for other applications to use. However, the swap file
size might increase thus reducing the free space on your swap drive.
