Of course, I'm sure there's also some overhead for writing the cached file when there's a file cache miss; the average benefit probably depends on whether the hits to your site are focused on a few articles (good) or roughly evenly distributed over all 800k pages (bad). In any event, you still need the other cache types, since the file cache only works for anonymous users. Which one seems to be preferred on my setup?
