When we got out last system, the group at PDC decided that non-swappable/pageable memory was a too expensive resource to be used for file cache. If calc users buy a machine with 32GB of RAM they expect that _at_least_ 32GB of RAM can be used for caculations. Yeah, they are that way ;-). So for example taking 3GB (10%) is not acceptable if it can not be swapped out. If the memcache would be swappable (I'm talking about Linux, because calc users use Linux), that would be a completely other matter.
