The buffer cache? :-) [This remembers me on the episode in The Simpsons where Mr.Burns tried to find the meaning of "re-cyc-ling" in his builtin dictionary] Do you mean this cache of those file systems? If yes: The answer should be: "It just makes everything worse." (there is not even some read ahead...) It is just useful, if you dont have any other caches (e. g. a ufs on a geom_raid5 (I think I should have it tomorrow... :-) ) on some geom_cache providers)...
