I loaded a 2-meg cache in high memory and get about a 90% read hit and 32% write hit. There's caveats about letting it do 'staged write' (delayed disk writes), and since I have umpty-dozen things happening simultaneously, decided not to press my luck. It also helped me fake a 4-meg data throughput on my hard drive. -- Happiness is a good alias file.
