A bigger problem is that doing anything with a file uses up 1-2KB
PER FILE. If you want to see cfsd grow *really big*, do a "find ." of
any large cfs-controlled hierarchy with lots of files. I'd really like
to put my MH mail messages under cfs, but I've got too many files (I
can't afford having a 200+MB cfsd).
The memory is not freed until you unmount (and then, the memory is
only free'd for use by other cfs mounts -- the process size does not, of
course, shrink).
