afaict, w/ uvm everything is dynamic, and has the usual min, low, high
watermarks that most vm systems do, except buffers. fs metadata is held in
the static buffer cache. on my indigo2 that has 128megs, upping it to 20%
sped up rsync and pkg_chk a lot. it was able to fit all the pkgsrc metadata
in the bc. hopefully, uvm will get a dynamically allocated buffer cache
soon. i'm surprised it wasn't originally designed w/ one.
