:Would such a SSD cache also improve write performance of a HAMMER file
:system?
:To improve write performance we'd probably need to put the UNDO/REDO log
:on a SSD...
No, the first iteration is strictly a clean slaved throw-away copy.
Writes run to the actual media and free any related underlying swap
copy. A new swap copy may be made later when the cached VM page
associated with the write cycles back out of main memory.
:And will the new system also cache mmap'ed data of a file?

Yes. Both read() and mmap()'d data are backed by VM pages and are
applicable to the cache.
