Copies of disk data pages in RAM can't be a bad thing, as long as they are not 'dirty' (unrepatriated to their media page)! I am amazed it took so long. Is there such a thing as too much RAM, other than to a reliability model?

Cache::Null(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  Cache::Null(3pm)

NAME
Cache::Null - Null implementation of the Cache interface SYNOPSIS
use Cache::Null; my $cache = Cache::Null->new(); See Cache for the usage synopsis. DESCRIPTION
The Cache::Null class implements the Cache interface, but does not actually persist data. This is useful when developing and debugging a system and you wish to easily turn off caching. As a result, all calls return results indicating that there is no data stored. CONSTRUCTOR
my $cache = Cache::Null->new( %options ) The constructor takes cache properties as named arguments, for example: my $cache = Cache::Null->new( default_expires => '600 sec' ); See 'PROPERTIES' below and in the Cache documentation for a list of all available properties that can be set. However it should be noted that all the existing properties, such as default_expires, have no effect in a Null cache. METHODS
See 'Cache' for the API documentation. SEE ALSO
