Actually, what you really want to do is to put the cache dir on another spindle and then leave it alone - unless your temp-drop-dir is *truly* small. This increases your throughput and splits the I/O load. For instance, on our main mail server with 2,200 users, the drop dir is only a WHOPPING 20.2K in size...
