Comment (by igaztanaga):

 I think OBJ_PERMANENT requires privileges (SeCreatePermanent or something
 similar) and if pagefile backed shared memory is created, then shared
 memory naming must conform global/local rules, and only privileged
 (SeCreateGlobalPrivilege) processes (e.g. services) can create such global
 names to be shared across processes from different sessions/users.

 For IO in mapped files if you use Interprocess you only need to hold a
 mapped_region, which only a few pointers and size_t-s.
