Hyperdisk is an advanced disk cacheing program. It's 'advanced' because of
its features like the "delayed write back" and other ones.
Which is better? I don't know! I think that none can tell if a cache is better
then another because the hit/miss ratio can vary from a kind of usage to 
another, say from compiling to word-processing, from file-browsing to
file-copying. I suggest: "Just give a try and compare the results!".
