Hi,
Just a quick thought --- at some point it would be good if we could
add logic to the core VM so that for sequentially accessed files,
reclaiming any page of the file from cache would evict the _whole_ of
the file from cache.
For large files, we're not going to try to cache the whole thing
anyway. For small files, reading the whole file back in later isn't
much more expensive than reading back a few fragments if the rest
still happens to be in cache.
Cheers,
Stephen
