(In simple terms: yes, a purge might increase the percentage of free memory; but no, you should not assume that overall performance of the Mac will improve. (There may be reduced performance whilst part of the UBC is re-populated with data that must be read from a relatively slow disk.))
Two recent posts make me reconsider the value of purge in ZEVO/ZFS environments:
- viewtopic.php?p=4155#p4155 , which mentions the UBC and other things
- viewtopic.php?p=4150#p4150 , which mentions purge in connection with UBC and other things.
Thoughts?
Thanks …
