With it on,

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.75 seconds =73.14 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 21.91 seconds = 2.92 MB/sec
 
I'm not gonna switch it just to show you guys, but on hde cache reads hit
around 125-150, and buffered gets up to about 5-10. A mighty big
improvment, but....
