I use MSDOS 5.0's smartdrv.sys set to 2048k (2 meg).  There is an
incredible increase in speed, as that seems to be large enough to hold
the compiler and most of the standard .h's I include.

BTW, I have a 386dx-20, 64k cache with 8 Mb RAM, twin 28 millisecond
drives and without the disk caching, I'd probably die of frustration.
