Performance degradation is expected. But the point is - did the
anomaly, that you have pointed out, go away? Because if it did, then
it is the disk cache which is causing the issue, and you will have to
live with it. Else you will have to look elsewhere.

oops, sorry for incomplete answer.
Actually i did not tested thoroughly but my initial tests showed some
bumps and serious performance degradation. But anyway there was still
some bumps... :(
