if it was in RAM it wouldnt be named "DISK cache" or?

I've noticed a few posts about the disk cache node, and after my own disappointments, I just ignored it. I would really appreciate a good explanation of the proper use of this node.

I assumed it's purpose was to spare the comper from recalculating processor-intensive branches of a comp. I think the assumption was that the cache was in RAM, but I believe it's on disk (which takes longer to read), which would explain the mediocre performance that so many of us notice. Still, I'm only guessing here.

    Well even when I make entire preview in ram on last node before
    write, writing frames make Nuke re-render the exact same thing
    instead of direct write ram cache to files. Quiet disapointing,
    performances, playback and caching are really strangely outdated,
    specially coming from Toxik.

    Anyway Randy, sure I wouldn't start toxik vs nuke thread, nuke is
    ahead hands down regarding a lot of things (3d environement,
    customization, python scripting, etc etc). But when nuke works ok
    regarding performances, toxik just fly. So I can't not think of
    having toxik caching technology inside nuke, but hey, we can't
    have the butter and the dairywoman lol Rolling Eyes I just hope
    thefoundry dev team will have a look at this in the future.
