Dave,

Thanks. This is precisely what I was looking for. I'll let you know
how it turns out.

As this file system is likely to continue to increase in number of files
at a fairly rapid rate, we're going to need a long term strategy. I
suspect it may be necessary in the near future to double or quadruple
the memory to 32GB or 64GB, but the uncertainty in the formula makes me
nervous.

For a situation like this, it would be ideal if we could specify an
inode cache size.

Thanks,
Jesse
