Well, the responses fell into 3 basic categories:
1) No need. Anything used regular already gets cached, unless there are
memory limitations (which we do not have).
2) Set the sticky bit, which keeps the text segment of a program in swap.
Only improves image loading time, not actual performance.
3) Use an MFS.
Since we are not really memory limited, I think we are going to stick with
#1. We may play with the stickybit, just to see what effect it has.
Thanks.
