No.

"no ip route-cache" will force *process switching*, and that's a bad thing
(certain IOS versions needed this to get features not supported in the
fast path, like per-packet load balancing on parallel links - but that's
really something you should immediately forget again, process switching is
*bad*).

If you want CEF, configure "ip route-cache cef" (which is default on recent
IOS versions, so it might not be visible in the config).
