What is your cache_mem setting and maximum_object_size_in_memory?
what memory replacement policy do you use?
Do you use disk cache? If so, what disk layout do you use, what storage
system
and what is your maximum_object size and disk replacement policy?

cache_mem 512 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB
maximum_object_size 2048 KB
cache_replacement_policy heap GDSF
memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF

I use diskd with 3 cache directories on a RAID 0

Thanks,

Jon
