sorry but that is complete nosense

caches are freed as soon whatever process asks for RAM and so they are
*not* part of the working set

that kind of limits are completly useless when i would limit a service
to 4 GB but because it served a few million different files within the
last weeks which are accounted to it's cache and working set it's now
killed?

my webserver is killed because it served at monday, tuesday, thursday
and friday 4 different files with 2 GB?

frankly my webserver can't even do anything against caching of teh VFS
layer and is not responsible at all nor do other services

BTW: stop "reply-all" to mailing-lists
