- I have noticed that there are two places in the CONFIG.SYS that specify
- the OS/2 disk cache size. Once in the IFS= line and the other in (I think)
- a CACHE= line.
-
- What's the difference between these two caches? Are there really TWO caches?
- Should the sizes be the same? I have noticed that increasing the CACHE= size
- improves performance on a FAT partition but I can't really tell the
- difference on my HPFS partition.
-
- I've looked in the on-line docs and they're really not all that clear.
-
- Thanks in advance.
