Now, I'm not a kernel hacker, but a programmer afterall, and to me it seems to be a an easier job to fix the aggressive file cache than to fix this "large I/O operations ......"-thing - which is not at all that concrete and varies over platforms, machine specs etc.

Maybe fixing the aggressive file cache would fix a lot of peoples problems - I'm guessing that the file cache behaves 100% the same on all systems. Is that a correct assumption?
