I missed that comment, thanks for you input.
So the faster you are, the less responsive (to seek) you are.

I think I will go between 128k and 1024k. I will do some test at home with my poor wifi setup.

What about your comment "Marking CIFS as fast-seekable".

CIFS is 99% local network (except those using it via ssh/port redirect).
So it should be fast, but lot of people have a bad wifi setup (like me), it's not uncommon to only have 800kb/s (bad router + lot of wifi neighbors in a city).

Is 800kb/s fast enough to enable fast-seekable ?

Crazy idea: live switch between the 2 cache modules depending on the I/O speed.
