Thank you, Rich. I'll try that as soon as cache starts to fill up again. I'll come back to the board with a follow-up probably this afternoon or tonight at some time as I'm not doing anything with Gimp right at the moment. It's good to have something to try.
Edit: I just tried the second command, although only about 20 percent of cache was being used and it wiped it clean. It went immediately down to 1 or 2%.
Thanks a lot. I'll just do that when I start noticing it growing too large.
