I noticed the same problem where my hit ratio went way down when I
"upgraded" from PC-Cache 5.5 to 6.0. I use a 1 megabyte expanded
memory cache. I think that the problem is real, because I can see
disk accesses happening (via the disk access light). I tried adjusting
some of the parameters, especially the MAX= one, but it didn't seem
to help. I've heard that the new PC-Cache is a complete rewrite from
the old one. I think that the new version, just plain has some bugs.
I wonder if the problem might be because I have a 65 megabyte drive,
set up as a single logical volume under DOS 4.01. I've went back to
the 5.5 version for the time being.
