Improved caching TFS puts a lot of effort into caching the disk to speed up disk accesses. It uses machine learning to learn patterns and predict future uses to reduce the number of cache misses.

See that does sound like a good idea - I've always observed HDDs with an SSD cache to have a phenomanly useless caching system

I'm not a big fan of putting machine learning into a file system. Usually you can't understand why a machine learning algorithm is doing what it's doing, and I would be worried about a production server suddenly having massively different performance because the cache learning algorithm started doing something differently. Interesting idea, but I would want to battle test it before I bought in.

It's impossible to tell what's going on nowdays with optimizing compilers, memory overcommitment, hardware branch predictions, power saving measures, etc.

Certainly a good idea, _if_ you have unlimited resources.

Without that, I think one should focus on getting the on disk structures right and the code manipulating them solid. That is enough of a challenge.
