I checked it with the System Monitor tool (Applications -> System Tools -> System Monitor). If Fedora is caching that much as showed in the list i showed than i expect it to be a lot faster. and i said it was using 432MB not free ;) free was probably more because i have 1GB (1024 - 432 = 592 MB free). But again.. having it free doesn't mean that it all needs to be used up for NO noticeable purpose.
