Just to make sure you are not expecting a miracle here: The above worker
may cache large files, but ALL workers will receive requests for large
files. Workers 1-3 will always miss on large files.

On average, 75% of requests for large files will go through workers that
do not cache them and do not see them in the worker4 cache (in practice,
this could be 90% if those workers happen to be busier due to OS
scheduling bias!).

If that is what you are after, the above config is correct. Otherwise,
you need to redesign.

HTH,

Alex.
