3 | 3 | The test simultaneously: dribble appended to a text file, md5summed all the files on a 120GB disk volume (reading lots of data, stressing the cache), and read aloud a fortune cookie (media player called once for each fortune). The MediaServer cloned buffers (listarea | grep cloned | wc) didn't grow, stopping at 15 memory areas while running (previously it grew by 2 for each fortune played). The system total number of areas went up a bit due to disk caching, but miraculously shrank back after the system was idle for a few minutes! |
