But it does fit in memory, at least if you are talking about the program
I posted. I _think_ the problem is update (or whatever update calls) locks
all the pages when tries to synchronzie the disk and memory images. If
this is what it going on it would be nice if the kernel would not try to
flush diry file pages if they had been accessed in the last second or so.
I would love to have someone look at this and confirm/deny my hypothesis
though.
Thanks,
Jim
