      It was recently mentioned that the use of a better disk cache than
      smartdrv.sys would increase performance.  My question is...which one
      would you recommend?  Hyperdisk has been mentioned but what about the
      disk cache that comes with PC Tools 7.1 or Norton Cache (pccache and
      ncache respectively)

Since it's sure you won't be able to use DOS=UMB nor load all your device
drivers and TSRs in UMBs make a selection:

SmartDrv  about 24k 
N-Cache   about 26k, many features, many bugs
PC-Cache  about 64k
