Even hot-cache? My perception is that in hot-cache conditions the perf is good. If it is cold-cache, what in the end you are hoping for is "pegging" some stuff in the cache. Perhaps there's a way to tell the kernel to skew the cache eviction scheme. Still, if the kernel's algorythms are good, the kernel knows more about your fs usage patterns than you do... cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
