I ask this because lowering the max. cache size could solve the problem that
some people have with too much memory going to swap and, in consequence,
making some apps unresponsive for a time
If max. cache size could be selected people who don't use much disk or just
need to work with a lot of apps at the same time (desktop?) could reduce it
to get better response when switching to inactive tasks who could have went
to swap to grow the cache...
am i wrong with my logic?
is this possible?
