It's much less likely, especially if you're using that file often enough to worry about saving time on accessing the index. And, although I'm no expert on the subject, I'd guess that data in a disk cache would be swapped out long before data that the program's written into its own data space. And, of course, there's the advantage that you're not depending on system calls that may or may not be honored the way you want. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
