I agree that an OS should take care of caching.
But applications? I think applications should leave this and other resource management to the OS.
I don't want applications trying to outsmart each other locking resources they *might* use.
Memory mapped files are perfectly good alternatives to application level caching.

Unity in Ubuntu 11.04 User Comments#Sandy Bridge
Unrelated to your question, but related to Unity, which is the main topic on the site, let me quote JEDIDIAH from the same user comment area. He summarized Unity in one single sentence:
It isn't quite like Windows 7 and it isn't quite like Snow Leopard but it steals just enough bad ideas from both to look like an incompetently executed clone with no identity (or value) of it's own.
