OK, re-reading what I just wrote makes me think it was not clear enough:
I think they mean you can _reserve_ some cache memory directly to
specific tables/table groups so that reserved cache is only used by
those tables, and thus will not be sensitive to other activities than
the access to those tables. Particularly a sequential scan on another,
big, table will not touch that reserved cache, or any other big sweep of
data access on other tables.

Not sure this time I got it actually clearer though :-)

Csaba.
