Er.. are you sure?
I can recall discussing it with Justin at ROL in Stratford.

Google groups has the first mention of "Lazy Task Swapping" is Sept 98 which
is talking about Phoebe and an internal RO4 version at Acorn!

The June 2000 monthly FAQ refers to some changes in 3.70 to improve the
paging in of applications but goes onto explain RO 4 introduced a new better
method called 'Lazy Task Swapping'
