Hi, It's been a while since I've used DR-DOS, mostly due to the floppy drive on that machine not working. I never moved it to any other machine as I didn't see the point (though vaguely considered it). It's kinda old and has some hardcoded limits.
I don't remember exactly how much total RAM that NWCACHE can use. It's not much, obviously, esp. compared to UIDE. That alone might make it hard to compare the two. Also, IIRC, some things didn't like /LEND=ON, but maybe I'm misremembering. I'm not saying it isn't interesting, but using it for a few weeks isn't a good test. I don't know of any good disk / file benchmarks, though. For me, I'd probably just recompile something with DJGPP (once with each cache) via "redir -t" or "runtime" similar, e.g. TDE, which is simple to build. Or maybe some compression program (Info-Zip, p7zip, zpaq, etc) on the Calgary Corpus or similar test suite.
