Did I read what Morgan said right:  in order for accesses to disks to be
accelerated through the cache you have to change the application?  I
have generally been quite polite and supportive of Apple, but permit me
to say that sounds awful shortsightened and unnecessary -- I can imagine
several other ways of selectively turning caching on and off (but why
one would want it off, given write through, other than for low-level
debugging of some kind, I can't figure out) that wouldn't require any
changes in applications, or if it did, only to oddball ones.
