        I am curious to know what is the best size for the RAM cache.

	I realise that the amount of RAM makes a difference, but assuming
adequate RAM how do things like the number of volumes, their types,
the number of open files (is this applicable?) etc affect the
best choice? Is there a point at which cache managment overhead
exceeds any gains?

	Over to you!
