Subject: Reduce effective memory size on benchmark client.
X-Git-Url: http://git.vrable.net/?p=bluesky.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=324ad3b1fe42c987686eefe71012000d6b36e291

Reduce effective memory size on benchmark client.

Lock memory to reduce the amount available for the NFS file cache, so
that requests will go the proxy.
