No ip route cache gives you more buffers by default than other modes. 
Also, if you have more than one low-speed link to a destination, it 
enables per-packet load balancing, which is more bandwidth-efficient.

Indeed, this is one of the few cases I recommend routinely tweaking 
buffers.  Decide what your largest window size will be, typically 64K 
for TCP or NetBIOS.  Divide that by the MTU and round up, so you are 
sure to have enough buffers for a full window.  Tends to smooth the 
stream.
