Since you're writing the code, you get to implement it any way you want. I think you're coming to the point of where that assertion may need to change, but not my call. You got my input and ideas.

Except that it's not a good approach for shared-resource systems, like the coming spate of virtual machine-based deployments, eg z/VM and VMware where increased memory footprint in one virtual machine impacts the behavior of other images on the same box. A permanently larger working set size for a feature that isn't needed for your commonly-referenced simple case seems like a not-so-hot idea in the long term. Again, you're writing it, but that's how I'd evaluate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
