We used caching at our site until just recently. When we turned it off, we saw about a 15% improvement in our disk to tape copies/migrations. So, to answer your question, it speeds up restores, but it slows down daily processing. At least that's been my experience with it.

I just had the thought that this could be because we have caching turned on. Is this correct? As a side note, has anyone had problems with caching slowing things down rather than speeding them up?
