I suspect that you can get this information from Nitin. Actually, I believe we need more tests on latest Ikeda's patches
which implemented a shrink operation to CCache. You can find this mail thread here:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/linux-mm-cc/2007-July/000165.html

I've worked with CCache focused on embedded devices, mainly Nokia devices: N770 and N800. I did a presentation at Linux
Symposium 2007, you can find the article here: https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/briglia-Reprint.pdf

I did not have time to continue this work after OLS, but I'll continue this month yet, since it's part of my Master's
course. :)

Nitin, do you have any news about that CCache allocator?
