Delete system caches for faster disk image mounting

What a great kind of technology this "cache" is! It slows down the system. The developers at Apple must have gone crazy, I suppose.

Delete system caches for faster disk image mounting
Authored by: diamondsw on Sep 23, '03 11:12:44AM

The challenge of any caching system is to speed up the system while not killing that benefit with the overhead of maintaining the cache. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't. If you don't think the caches are worthwhile, try deleting them every boot. Suddenly Jaguar feels a lot like Puma. :)

I have just installed a clean copy of OS X 10.2.6, and it is considerably faster than the one I have been using for more than a year now. After a year of usage my old system slowed down to crawl. Is it connected to this cache issue I wonder....?
