If a dynamic page pool doesn't mean that it changes in size as needed then I would think option 1 would be the most likely definition. But, as I pointed out there's already a term for that...

Nah, we all agree that dynamic means something about allocating on demand. What isn't clear to me is that FormerPalmOS's statement about how it is configured is correct. For example, maybe Dynamic(12) means dynamic, max of 12 MB. Or maybe Dynamic(12) means dynamic, minimum of 12 MB. I haven't seen anything official that says exactly how dynamic works in current kernels. It just doesn't strike me as reasonable that Microsoft would have modified the pagepool configuraton stuff for no apparent gain in flexibility.
