Hello,
(noticed with 2.3.99-pre9-2, not checked on other kernel versions)
Just noticed while copying a (large/tested with 60MB) file it takes about
twice the file's size in cache (which takes it from free memory).
This must be because kernel doesn't know about the same files,
and caches them separate.
But it _is_ waste of memory isn't ?
