Subject: Page cache

Hello.

I have server with 1G RAM.
And i want to run Oracle WITHOUT swapping it to disk...

how to reduce desires of a kernel about page cache?
Mem: 1028692K av, 1023600K used, 5092K free, 678340K cached...

if i disable swap, linux runs kswapd with "load average 35"...

Kernel 2.4.9
