    <thetext>Numerous ports hack their way around the PageCache (instead of using a nice define)

We should come up with some better solution than ports returning FLT_MAX;

Perhaps a new USE() #define which turns on this &quot;immediate release&quot; behavior that ports seem to desire.

Current ports using FLT_MAX for this function:

gtk/TemporaryLinkStubs.cpp
qt/TemporaryLinkStubs.cpp
win/SystemTimeWin.cpp
wince/SystemTimeWince.cpp
wx/SystemTimeWx.cpp

Basically every port except for the Apple Mac and Apple Windows ports.  This seems broken.

I&apos;m not even sure what ports disabling the page cache in this way are doing.  As in, what positive or negative effects they&apos;re having on their port is.</thetext>
