Maybe not..  The same simple test on a mid-july -current shows the
buffer cache works there too, I assume:

<10:07am>monet/gallatin:tmp>du -hs zot
200M			       zot
<10:07am>monet/gallatin:tmp>dd if=zot of=/dev/null bs=64k
3200+0 records in
3200+0 records out
209715200 bytes transferred in 1.871934 secs (112031304 bytes/sec)

(and iostat shows no disk activity)

I guess I'm confused..
