Fragmentation of the process memory space is dependent upon what
is installed on the machine that is hooking itself into the
afsd_service.exe process memory space.

It won't randomly happen.

Totally dependent upon where DLLs are instructed by the developers
to load themselves into memory.

I don't think so.  I think that if you have applications injecting
themselves into your processes' memory space that you should figure
out what they are.  they could be something unwanted.

If I resize the cache I must flush it.  That could be just as painful
as not being able to load it depending on your network availability.
