As I said I can't give you the filecache info, but here's two datasets
The amount of cache is due to 1.5gb of mmaped vmware guest backing files.
First, 400mb ram "free" but still swapping out - usable with a few
pauses as apps swap back in.

Second one was during a thrash storm (I think, it may not have dumped
until the end of it)
Note the kernel claims it has over 500mb free RAM that's not being
used while we swap
