Problem : CACHE programs.
Machine : IBM AT 6Mhz, 30 Meg. Hard disk, 1.5 Meg. extended memory.
Symptom : 
                         No Cache     |  PC-CACHE  
                        --------------+---------------
          Norton's DI      1.9        |    4.9    
          Coretest       202.9 Kb/sec |  985.6 Kb/sec
          Compiling       77 sec      |   75 sec
    
          This means that when I compile a C program I develop, I see NO
          difference in compile times, whether using the cache or not.
          I notice the same phenomenon even when I use the Compaq's or
          Zenith's Cache programs, but I mention PC-CACHE because its 
          performance is the best of all.
          (I use command line version of Microsoft C 5.1 and/or Quick C)
Question: What is going on there?
