What is it saying is bad about it?

LargeSystemCache Tweak
Myth - "Enabling this improves disk caching performance."
Reality - "LargeSystemCache determines whether the system maintains a
standard size or a large size file system cache, and influences how often
the system writes changed pages to disk. Increasing the size of the file
system cache generally improves server performance, but it reduces the
physical memory space available to applications and services. Similarly,
writing system data less frequently minimizes use of the disk subsystem,
but the changed pages occupy memory that might otherwise be used by
applications. On workstations this increases paging and causes longer
delays whenever you start a new app. Simply put enable this on a server and
disable it on everything else." - Source
I'm pretty sure this is the RAM tweak you're taking about.
