Why should this be necessary? Since writes to disk don't happen
immediatly writing to 'disk' and reading it back in again and then
deleting the file should all happen in cache and not actually hit the hdd
at all (unless of course you run out of memory in which case slamming it
to disk would be no worse than a page hit) correct?
Or am I missing something?
Later.
