Another tricky question with "it depends" as the answer. If you have a fast (Gbit) network and want lowest latency possible, removing cache_dir entirely is best. But you will pay for latency gains in bandwidth from the lower HIT ratio. If the cache_dir are of UFS/AUFS/diskd type and on the same HDD. Then there will definitely be speed gains from removing 2 of them. If they are on different HDD disk/spindles then you only gain if the removed ones have slow RPM speeds, commonly have errors, or are in use a lot by other processes.
