the "cache" is in memory. My original reason for setting it was I did usbstick and usb-sd cards, and both of those are really slow, and i also did not have a lot of ram in those laptops such that an additional 20% of memory going for writecache also made the system page horribly.
Ed: How much ram does your laptop have? At lot of should go away if you have extra ram and can afford for 20% of the ram to be used as writecache and still have enough ram such that you still aren't having to page/swap.
