Well none of the actually DIT is cached (into the RAM), IMO. The engine
might cache regular/common lookups, indexes etc but none to the actually
DC's RAM. But then again you have to define but what you mean by "into
RAM".

Nathan is quite right with "Checking the working set size of LSASS is
not reliable." There are many more processes that the LSASS is taking
care of. You could dump the LSASS process and take a look and then
determine from there what is happening. 

But now I am curious why you asking :P Do you have a hungry LSASS
process?
If you do what Patch/Service Pack level do you have on that box?

Checking the working set size of LSASS is not reliable. There's process
overhead for things like lsa session handles and other stuff related to
the security sub system.

The most accurate method is to enable the ESE Database performance
counters and look at "Cache Size". To enable the DB counters, install
Server Performance Advisor, or check out
