Based on the rest of your email, I assume you know which files/accesses
are generating those hits and misses.

Do you know how frequently you are accessing these files? How many
clients would be reading/stat'ing them at around the same time? Do these
files ever change?

-dcache just sets the number of in-memory dcache entries, not the number
of chunks for the whole cache. The afsd manpage makes a few references
to multiplying the dcache and chunksize together, but that's for a
memory cache. I don't think you want to set -dcache; I would just
configure the cache size and the chunksize if you want.
