Is there any current reason why dircache isn't enabled by default? I

Anyone know the status there, as IMO it'd be nice to turn it on by
default if possible?

Try initializing dircache with a ridiculously large number of tiny files
(the High Voltage SID Collection is a good test case, IIRC) and see if
it succeeds. I seem to remember that being one of the major problems -
that it didn't fail particularly gracefully, re-attempting to initialize
every boot but never succeeding.
I've just tried it with the HVSC, plus ~90 GB of mp3/ogg files on my
gigabeat S for a total of ~62k files, and dircache is fine. It did a
foreground scan on the first reboot after copying the HVSC over, but
only the once. It is reporting itself initialised with 62500 entries
(and is using a massive 3822696 bytes). Browsing files seems fine too.
