Oh, all right.

I don't know about it. But I think Windows cache feature is stupid.
It seems to always write/read data to/from disk, nevertheless having large memory...
I'd like to know test result on Windows, if we can...


I am quite certain the Windows cache is *not* that stupid, and hasn't been since the Windows 3.1 days.

If you want to make certain, set  FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY when the file is opened, then it will work really hard not to write it to disk - harder than most Linux fs'es do AFAIK. This should of course only be done if we don't mind it going away :)

As per port/open.c, pg will set this when O_SHORT_LIVED is specified. But AFAICT, we don't actually use this *anywhere* in the backend? Perhaps we should for this - and also for the pgstat files?

(I may have missed a codepath, only had a minute to do some greping)
