*** i'm writing a file cache to use together with my servlets.
pretty straight forward: when a file first is requested, load it from file
and put it into memory. from then on use the copy from memory.
the problem that i have is that there is _no_ performance gain at all when
reading a file from the cache as opposed to reading it from the file system.
my programming may not be perfect but i should see _some_ gain.
it looks like linux itself is caching the file, because the first access
from the file system is a little slower than subsequent access from the file
system.
is this possible? can i turn the file caching on the operating system level
off (for testing purposes)?
any other ideas?
and, is there source code for a file cache available somewhere?
thanks,
- martin
