Just use kill PID first!

'kill -9' PID will force all backends to flush cache for no good reason.

Note that on most unixes, a plain kill PID will send the term signal, 
which tells the process to poltely shutdown and release resources.  kill 
-9 is like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly for this.
