Measuring Buffer Cache Utilization
After configuring your system with reasonable sized buffer cache, the next step is to
run your applications and evaluate the performance with these buffer cache
settings.
You can either time the performance of your application using the time(1) or
timex(1) commands, or simply use a stopwatch. You can also monitor the buffer
cache read and write hit rates using a performance measurement tool such as
Glance Plus (shown above), or via the sar(1M) command using the “–b” option.
