What makes the kernel flush cach entries? If I do a "find ./" the kernel
swallows up about 15000 size-128 and 15000 size-32s... I'de prefer this
memory go to something useful (like buffercache).. How difficult would it
be to impliment a userspace daemon to do watch for spikes then flush unhit
entries?
