I have the following memory allocation on one of openvz machines:

# free  -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        128935      90948      37987          0          0      88847
-/+ buffers/cache:       2100     126835
Swap:         7628          0       7628

Server is actually running two sphinx processes one consuming 29GB and another 53GB of memory. Why this memory shown as cached? Kernel is 2.6.32-46 from Debian Squeeze.
