How many of you bother to tune your file dictionaries? (There is

If the DICT was big and the memory was limited it could be swap time and that would completely trash the performance although for this to happen on a DICT file the machine would pretty much be on its knees anyway. My assumption would be to size things properly and leave this kind of low level tuning up to the kernel (and SAN if applicable) to handle read-ahead and io buffering as it seems to do so well.
