why does the kernel suck up memory?
I've noticed that when I added more memory, the extra memory went into
"buffers". Why? I don't have a heavily loaded system which would require
massive buffers. How can I change the kernel to stop with this unnecessary
behavior?
I'm trying to keep from using swap space. Once a swap partition is accessed,
it is never dropped and I need to _not_ access swap space for performance
reasons (IO bandwidth).
