Just a few more details: my box has 400MB memory, and inactive was
evolving between 58 and 64MB, so there was plenty of memory free for the
directories/files entries to be cached without having to eject my big
file. This is all with the >2GB support.

Err, that was find /var -printf "" actually. Find /var/log doesn't
trigger the issue, probably because there are not enough
directories/files.

Also, something odd: say I have a big file /tmp/foo
$ cat /tmp/foo > /dev/null
... "inactive" grows in vmstat, takes some time...
$ cat /tmp/foo > /dev/null
takes almost no time since it's all cached.
$ find /var/log -printf ""
... "inactive" falls down to the original value
$ cat /tmp/foo > /dev/
