Just to add, we still revert the patches that changed the default
behaviour from v6.2 onwards.

We found that the access cache not only gets wiped by interactive user
logins, but also various automated processes (e.g. sar/systat
collection) that also frequently "login" across all our clients.

When you scale this up across thousands of clients (render farm), the
result was a 40% increase in (ACCESS) IOPs to our netapps and a 20%
increase in their CPU usage. So we will continue to revert the patches
for as long as we can.

Cheers,

Daire
