hi,

i was asking how to decide the best size for che cache. I know it depends on many parameters, but I'd like to know the more popular "common sense" rules "[Wink]"

Thank you in advance

Hi Tinto,

I used 5-10MB per user

Some people use 500K per user

Use the Performance White Paper at www.microsoft.com/isa for better estimates

well, allowing isa to use much more space than this will slow down performance or enhance? I've lots of space on disk and I'd like to use [Wink]

I've searched isa official site for the "perf. white paper" but was not able to find...

Hi Tinto,

Yes, if you make it too big, then you can reduce overall performance, so that's why its good to test different sizes and use the performance white paper as a baseline.
