Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to inspect. Start by clarifying the security and compatibility concerns around shared page-cache and OverlayBD-style designs, then define a concrete runtime change and measurable memory or startup criteria before implementation.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
AgentEnv supports ublk + OverlayBD and leverages shared page cache to accelerate startup and reduce memory overhead. We understand that the E2B team has refrained from adopting this approach due to security and compatibility concerns. However, the industry is increasingly focused on per-server resource oversubscription—especially memory—and AgentEnv holds an inherent advantage in this regard.
