If a file is loaded off the hard drive a lot, does FreeBSD keep it in RAM? For my high-traffic website, Apache+PHP, I have a PHP file that I'm going to be including a LOT. The file is 3 megs, though. Takes a few unfortunate seconds to load into memory off of disk the first time. So - what would it take to keep it in RAM instead of being loaded off of hard drive every second of the day? Does FreeBSD do that automatically or do I need some kind of accelerator app? Thanks!
