I've another system which might be interesting. Not sure which stuff to
gather.

It never builds up any read cache cause memory is constantly under
pressure. But memfree is 28G.

What would be interesting to collect here? Pressure is not very high
just 1-3% but it seems it prevents the system from building up file
cache. Mostly at the night where no pressure is it starts building up a
read cache until pressure happens again. But all this happens with
MemFree at nearly 30GB of memory.
