I just assumed that (iicache=in) was true since reading and applying the patch and _then_ this "compound" is much more stable than the previous versions of iicache. I.e. it does not corrupt my Netscape6 and KDE files-in-use any more. And it really does not show slowdowns in applications load times at all. Maybe Dieter could report the same. I can't say if it is faster or slower as I revised my systems' chipset and bus settings (hdparm, lilo->kernel and powertweak) during the last weeks to have an overally more common and stable setup. Thanks for providing a usable and applyable patch on Namesys ftp, Yura, Manuel
