Well no, the OS is smarter than that, it manages file system cache along with other memory requirements. If applications need more memory then file system cache will likely be reduced.
The command is a cheap trick to get the OS to fill the file system cache as quickly as possible, not sure how much it will help though with a 100GB index on a 15GB machine. This might work if you 'cat' the index files other than the '.fdx' and '.fdt' files.
