Here is a little program I tossed together to free that cached memory.
Hm. Why do this? Do you actually get any performance benefits
after having freed the memory occupied by the cache?
In theory, you shouldn't see any benefits, as the system
should throw away memory pages occupied by cache stuff,
as soon as there are "more important" requests (like
any malloc).
Or am I wrong?
