Depends what you're doing. Actually, if you're doing it, it's not much of a
help. Cache would normally improve performance best when the computer is 
oing
everything on it's own (eg. network server). If someone is there operating 
t,
the slowest part of the system is usually the user (right up until the user
says to process the new input).
