- I'm about due to get my copy of Amix in and was talking to a friend of mine
- about the cacheing on SVR4. He though that the size of the cache was fixed
- and wouldn't auto-size with respect to malloc/frees... In such an advanced
- system, I imagined that they did have a nice management schemen that could
- use most of the available RAM.
-
- So I guess my question would be, on a system with 16MB FAST RAM, what's a
- good ammount of cache to use? I'm going to be running X and compilers much
- of the time...

- Thanks,
- Sean
