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.
