Yes, it'll cache.  You won't see a file ecause it caches in memory.  It's
possible that one of the signals will make it dump cache stats, but I don't
know offhand which one.  Probably SIGUSR1 or something similar.  Check out
the man page, and send signals with "kill" (kill -l to get the number that
corresponds to a name).

For example, to send a SIGUSR1 to process ID 632:
	kill -10 632

Hope that helps...
