I rebuilt world a couple of hours ago, from a cvsup at around 8:30 CST tonight. When I rebooted, the box seemed slower than it should have been. To make a long story short, in the process of doing stuff, I noticed that whenever there's heavy disk i/o, instead of the amount of memory dedicated to cache increasing, the amount of memory being listed as inactive was increasing. Huh? I'm confused. Right now, it looks like none of my memory is being used for file cacheing, even though I have > 32 MB free. What am I missing? William S.
