69 So cache is bad? Heck, my cache is almost always full anyway. Nothing
70 new there. If it is not updatedb then it will be something else.
71
72 Thing is, I can't tell any difference in my cache before, during or
73 after. I do have 2Gbs of ram here so maybe I just can't see the
74 difference. I guess I could always wait until 3:10AM and test this
75 theory tho.
