Hi,

Thanks for using DragonFly.

I believe our swapcache(8) is what you need.  Please read the nice
swapcache(8) man page (http://mdoc.su/d/swapcache ), and you can find
detailed description and examples.

You're also welcomed to join the IRC (#dragonflybsd on EFNet) to ask more
questions.


Cheers,
