You need more memory if supporting that much cache..

4 * 6.2GB = 24.8GB
20KB on average / object -> 24.8GB/20KB = 1.3M objects
100 bytes metadata (always in memory) / object -> 124MB metadata (this
is regardless you are using NOVM or not).

So I'd say at least 256MB. The OS needs a few MB, and it is good to have
some memory for filesystem cache....
