Does anybody know if it is possible to explicitly uncache a program, say for time(1) measurements, or a way to know if the program is not cached anymore? Say , i have a some program, prgm. On the first run it takes quite some time to be loaded & show output. Any subsequent runs of prgm, however, produce results very fast (w/in reasonable amount of time since the first load). So, what i am looking for is some process to either uncache prgm before the FreeBSD does it by itself, or to know that prgm isn't being cached any more. - parv --
