Did FUSE start to make a fiendship with performance? Last time I saw it, they hated each other... Caching actually useful not only on slow, but also very fast links because of its ability to batch data and greatly reduce latencies of reply-request protocols, which in turn (for that protocols) greatly increases performance. If you are using async processing (like POHMELFS, iirc it is the only such approach in networked fs, cifs/smbfs and others wait after request is sent and only then proceed with the next one) that will allow to drain the cache very quickly and proceed with the next data set. -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
