I am experiencing some problems with dbase management.
I page in and out many pieces of a terrain dbase. And
I notice that memory consumption is always increasing.
With gmemusage I can see that what is actually getting
bigger is Irix memory space, particulary an area called
FS Cache.
I assume that this memory area is File System cache,
so I first thought that I had some files opened and not
closed.
I have revised my code and I am quite sure that I
close every open file.
Other "curious" effect is that if I stop moving
during a while, the FS cache starts going down.
Does Irix keep data from closed files in memory?
Is there a way to prevent Irix consuming this
phisical memory to speed up my application?
Thank you.
