Do you know which windows versions? Everytime I look at the effect of the effect of file system cache under Windows I get confused. My most recent study, with W2K3 x64 indicated that using the file system cache was a big win compared to physically disabling it in fb.conf and using firebird to do all the caching. It was not the result I expected but I hadn't considered that the results may depend on different versions of Windows. (There are probably other things I hadn't considered, too :-( ).
