Cache Usage
===========
* Allow free-behind capability for large sequential scans to avoid
kernel cache spoiling
Posix_fadvise() can control both sequential/random file caching and
free-behind behavior, but it is unclear how the setting affects other
backends that also have the file open, and the feature is not supported
on all operating systems.
