Yes I did.  At one stage I was running with something like 16 meg, or some
equally ridiculous number.  Not so ridiculous when you have 64 meg of
memory though.  :-)  I am a great believer in disk cache using main memory!
 In fact, one of the reasons I want to move to Linux, is because I am under
the impression it is really good at that, using ALL of your (unused) memory
for a disk cache!  BFN.  Paul.
