Yeah definitely not staying resident once read, although the machine does gave 256GB of memory so some will persist in the OS cache.

Actually this brings up another question, if I have an unique integer index of 2.gb what percentage would I expect to read for a value that was higher or lower than all index values?

Cheers,
James

Each index is about 2.5GB, I suspect I am trying to read a these into memory in entirety.

an 11GB table with a (presumably integer) primary key requires an 2.5GB index ?      100 of these would need 250GB of shared_buffers to stay resident, not likely.
