Hello,

If this isn't the right mailing list for this, can someone point me to
the right one?

What is the use of chached memory? Can there be a situation where
although there is a lot of cached memory the system will swap to disk in
order to free memory? (I think this is happening on my machine)

Thanks,

Arik
