Has anyone actually verified whether or not the dcache is indeed a
win on large news servers with 50-100 GB of disk at all?
I would have though with seemingly `random' access to several million
files/inodes any caching benefits for most files would be lost...
(sure, some files are accessed very often, but in this case the
buffer case would have them `hot' in 2.0.x anyhow).
