It's the reason for this mailling list. Enjoy. > I've got some unpartitioned space and nothing prevents me to do some > tests.

We tried just the time from boot to a console and then again from boot to a fully loaded KDE desktop... A rule of thumb we followed would be what ever you have for ram, plus whatever you use for swap. About 1gig for us. The number you end up with will be overkill, but you are assured of enough cache space for all your needed files.
