[comp.sys.mac] Anyone have problems with Cache Control?

I recently picked up a small utility from the net called Cache Control
which is supposed to turn on the instruction and data caches on 68020
and 030 processors.  I've been trying it out on my Mac II and it
really seems to speed things up but I've been having some weird
problems.  For example, with Multifinder running, Microsoft Word 4.0
unexpectedly quits when trying to re-initialize the LaserWriter, but
this doesn't happen if I take CacheControl out of my system folder and
restart.  Has anyone else had any problems?  I'd really like to use it
since it does speed things up, but I'm beginning to wonder if maybe
there is a particular reason why something like it isn't part of the
system software.
