[LUG] Caching - was out of memory

 

IIRC now - one thing the kernel does is cache everything - you open a file and close it and flush it its flushed but its still in memory in case you want to open it again. This is actually pretty cool behaviour and if you've got a big app not written to process a lot of configuration files at startup then the second and subsequent loads are pretty quick compared with the original.
