Daniel C. Sobral once stated:

=Why  do you  need that?  FreeBSD  doesn't really  make any  distinction
=between program and disk  cache. It's the same thing, as  far as we are
=concerned. Whatever gets most use stays in memory.

I guess, he wants the data to  be cached regardless of what's used most.
Will partition-backed MFS do the trick?
