Sort of. I did use that but I could never get it to actually cache anything. My reads never got quicker than the first one, no matter many times I called the same files... But specifically I've heard talk from people asking about using local storage for caching, which is not supported under the io-cache translator. So I would use that if it became available, and if not, I'll eventually have to figure out why io-cache isn't working.
