The Directory Cache takes a small amount of memory away from Rockbox
that would otherwise be used to buffer music, but it speeds up
navigation in the file browser by eliminating the slight pause between
the time a navigation button is pressed and the time Rockbox responds.
Hmm, this implies that it only affects the file browser. In reality,
Dircache seems to speed up all disk access - or am I just being placebo
effected?
it does low level caching... so its all file accesses...
Hi, so does using dircache lower the number of times the disc has to spin
up?
Also, I hope that the author of patch 9621 gets that sorted, as I always
hate disc access, as I am very concious that my 140 is getting old.
