request hit ratio or byte hit ratio? Those two are different.

of course. But If you will have too big COSS cache_dir, it may hold small
objects for a long time, and there will be no place for (a)ufs/diskd to hold
big objects. Since big objects tend to take more place, you may find out
that you have small byte-hit ratio even if high request hit ratio.

there's no use for that. and as I said, you apparently need less data for
COSS, not more.

it mostly depends on the HW. you can tune the SW to hold up to SW/HW
possibilities.

it's apparently the webmail (hotmail issue)... well, microsoft is very
"good" at ignoring good practices
