Hi George,
Funny thing is that it meant the opposite on Solaris: files with the
sticky bit set avoided the file to go through the page cache and therefore
would never be held in memory. This was e.g. set for swapfiles.
Obviously it is counterproductive to cache stuff in memory which is going
to be swapped out...
Best regards

The "sticky" bit was quite clever. tell
the OS to keep something
memory resident
Was it ever more than a hint? I've not heard of it locking or pinning
an executable to memory.
