What?  PostgreSQL has always used the kernel cache for queries.

Well, just keep in mind when tuning that your calculations should be based on 
*available* RAM, meaning RAM not used by Apache or the JVM.

With that many concurrent requests, you'll want to be *very* conservative with 
sort_mem; I might stick to the default of 1024 if I were you, or even lower 
it to 512k.
