It does not, if you have enough RAM, precisely because of the part you |
| 9 |
claim not to care about. |

No, that is not what I am saying. Those files were loaded into memory |
| 15 |
when you ran the test AFTER you cleared the previously cached files. The |
| 16 |
number of times you run the test is irrelevant, as is whether you start |
| 17 |
with an empty cache or not. All that matters is that the kernel caching |
| 18 |
all the files used during the emerge makes the storage medium used |
| 19 |
irrelevant. |

Like I said, take a step back, a deep breath and a break of an hour or |
| 22 |
two. Then read the posts again without your preconceptions of what you |
| 23 |
think we are trying to say (which is not what we are actually saying). |
| 24 |
Only when you have done that can this discussion proceed beyond the |
| 25 |
current tit-for-tat exchanges of misunderstanding. |

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. |
