in reply to How do you clear Win32 caches (disk/memory)



Some windows tuning guides may point to registry entries, or other settings you can use to disable the caching.

On the other hand, I really can't see why that would give you accurate performance measurements. Unless you expect to have such a huge dataset, and your access pattern will be such that the cache is essentially useless, I would think you'd want to discount the tests that were run before the system had time to get things loaded into cache.
