We have talked a little more and now it seems like putting the entries in
a size limited QCache might be a good idea, which the cache flushed out
periodically.

However, I am under the impression that once an application has allocated
memory, even if it frees it, it doesn't go back into the system memory
pool.  It keeps it until it exits.  Isn't this the case in the majority of
UNIX systems?
