I'm a PostgreSQL user these days, but I thought MySQL + InnoDB is ACID
compliant?

If you're using prefork and using a ton of RAM, then there will be a
lot less caching. Changing to a different MPM (in the case of Apache2)
might alleviate the problem?
i'm curious....in a virtual server system like xen or vmware, how is
disk-caching handled?
e.g. say you have a bunch of virtual machines, each allocated 256MB RAM, but
the physical hardware has, say, 2GB RAM. is disk cached/buffered individually
by each virtual machine, or by the hypervisor kernel, or by both?
I would think, logically, both makes the most sense. The virtual
machines don't know that they're running on virtualized hardware. The
hypervisor kernel would only cache until the full system is running
out of memory (as it's being allocated to the individual virtual
machines), so... I think in the end it depends on what kind of
virtualization software you're using.
