Cyclone vs. the classic file cache — the numbers
The raw head-to-head medians behind the benchmark write-up, plus the interactive charts. Two machines: a laptop with a near-RAM SSD (the conservative case) and a workstation on realistic virtualized storage. 1 GB caches, median of repeated runs on quiesced machines.
Head-to-head
| Scenario | Machine | Cyclone | File cache | Winner |
|---|
Higher is better for throughput; lower is better for latency and on-disk footprint. Notice the same scenario's advantage grows on the slower (workstation) storage — and that the file cache wins exactly one row: over-provisioned + idle, on the laptop's near-RAM SSD.

Advantage vs. disk speed
Every headline result as a Cyclone/file-cache ratio, both machines side by side. The slower disk (darker bars) widens the gap in every pair.
