Comment (by igaztanaga):

 Sorry, but IMO your reply is too quick. Several users have reported bugs
 regarding non-administrative user permission issues, so shared memory is
 definitely needed for non-administrative users.

 Maybe we should offer windows-centric new feature for permanent shared
 memory, but that's another story. Interprocess shared_memory_object is
 about portability. windows_shared_memory might be another issue.
