Yup I have that enabled.

Yes indeed I did mean the memory object directives.

Hmm ok, it's possible I have totalled the number of READ system calls
incorrectly. Because of the large numbers of READs I was assuming that a
TCP_IMS_HIT was _always_ from a check made against a file on disk and
not from memory. As you confirm that TCP_IMS_HITs can come from either
memory or disk I will check my totals again. Thanks for the confirmation.
