Did I read what Morgan said right: in order for accesses to disks to be accelerated through the cache you have to change the application? I have generally been quite polite and supportive of Apple, but permit me to say that sounds awful shortsightened and unnecessary -- I can imagine several other ways of selectively turning caching on and off (but why one would want it off, given write through, other than for low-level debugging of some kind, I can't figure out) that wouldn't require any changes in applications, or if it did, only to oddball ones.
