- CACHE (as in the IFS line) controls the HPFS cache and DISKCACHE
- controls the FAT cache.
-
- I would suggest no more than 1 MB total cache for your system. So,
- for example, if you have all HPFS try CACHE of 768 and DISKCACHE of 64
- (without lazy writes). If you have a mixture of the two, try 512 for
- each. If you have just FAT, try 1024 for DISKCACHE and REM out the
- IFS line.
