Note that just telling people that something is PITA doesn't help solve
things (so people will come back to you with stupid questions over and
over again). You can call people morons, idiots and dumbasses (that's
all fine) but still finding a way to be productive. :-)

You could just give a link to a previous discussion, in which you think
you explained all your concerns regarding cache handling issues, or
memory notifications/statistics in general.

So, feel free to call me an idiot, but please expand your points a
little bit or give a link to the discussion you're referring to?

Thanks,
