Does anybody know if it is possible to explicitly uncache a program,
say for time(1) measurements, or a way to know if the program is not
cached anymore?

Say , i have a some program, prgm.  On the first run it takes quite
some time to be loaded & show output.  Any subsequent runs of prgm,
however, produce results very fast (w/in reasonable amount of time
since the first load).

So, what i am looking for is some process to either uncache prgm
before the FreeBSD does it by itself, or to know that prgm isn't
being cached any more.
