Using more memory for disk cache and less for storing rarely used pages sounds like a performance optimisation.

If you want help in tuning Lenny then probably debian-user or your local LUG mailing list would be the best option. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
