I can't think of a way to do that. On the other hand, I can't think of a reason you would want to, either. You have plenty of memory available, so I can't imagine why you'd want to take the performance hit of reducing the buffer space. And: buffer use *is* dynamic, it just tends to be more stable than cache.
