T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1470:
-------------------------------------------

re (2) just following the code it looks like it eventually hits 
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/mm/swap.c#L329 which is doing a reference 
count so if another file has the page cached then it should stick around (again 
I'll need to test) but that would be great!

> use direct io for compaction

> When compaction scans through a group of sstables, it forces the data in the 
> os buffer cache being used for hot reads, which can have a dramatic negative 
> effect on performance.
