Since you're using the fs as a cache, I presume it wouldn't be a big problem
if the data was lost by a power outage (or crash). If so, you can try the
async mount option to seriously increase fs performance.

Linux also speeds up if you try mounting the volume -async, maintaining a similar advantage. And mounting the volume -async is a bit dangerous, because the cache can become very inconsistent during a crash.... SoftUpdates is generally what's recommended.
