Adrian´s Rojak Pot has posted rev. 2.0 of the Disk Cache Optimization Guide.
Naturally, this degrades performance as the program now has to use the much slower swapfile, instead of the RAM. Also, it was found thatRead more
increasing disk cache had diminishing gains. That means that increasing your disk cache from 32MB to 64MB of RAM won´t boost overall hard disk performance as much as an increase from 4MB to 8MB of RAM. On the other hand, many programs´ performance are degraded when deprived of RAM by the disk cache and forced to run using the swapfile. Hence, it is now important for us to control how much RAM is allocated to the disk cache so that there is a balance between hard disk and program performance.
