Resolution
To help estimate the effects of changes in -B on system aggregate memory use, the following formula can be used:

-B * database block size = # of kb of memory used.

For example, if you set -B to 18000 and your block size is 1 KB then:

18000 * 1024 = 18,432,000 bytes

This means 18 MB of memory will be addressed.
