It's probably AIX that's doing the caching. If it's like linux, there's no way 
to tell it - it will just aggressively cache everything until it runs out of 
spare RAM.

Question is, why do you want these files in RAM? UV is very fast at retrieving 
from disk so what's the reason?

And it sounds like you want a file-type that INFORMATION had - I can't remember 
what filetype it was because I only ever used it once, but it was pinned in 
memory and read-only - intended iirc for very fast lookups. I would be very 
surprised if UV has what you want, because they would have copied this file 
type, and they haven't. They probably didn't see any need for it.

Cheers,
Wol

Subject: [U2] UniVerse and/or AIX caching

I've heard that UniVerse will cache data, or leave data in memory in case
the next request needs it.
Is there any way to control how much data gets kept in memory, and for how
long?

If one has 32 gigabytes of memory on an AIX machine, is there any way to
tell the operating system (or UniVerse) to load whole (several) files in
memory so the data can be accessed instantaneously, or is configuring some
memory as a ramdisk the closest one can get to that?
