Following the same idea of listing installed pkgs, dropping memory caches is a useful feature for people running benchmarks on their laptops, but not for test developers. So, by default, turn this behavior off and reccommend turining it on for test setups where benchmarks will run. This way we get a little speed increase executing tests on developers machines.
