I dont think file caching works over SMB connections,
Hm. l: is my net use for live.sysinternals.com\tools via my (currently) 700kbs broadband and wifi:
C:\test>net use l:
Local name l:
Remote name \\live.sysinternals.com\tools
Resource type Disk
The command completed successfully.
The first time I download procexp.exe it takes 34 seconds for the 2.5 MB file:
C:\test> prompt [$t] $p$g
[ 4:41:09.11] C:\test>copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
[ 4:41:43.33] C:\test>dir procexp.exe
11/07/2012 17:38 2,691,192 procexp.exe
1 File(s) 2,691,192 bytes
0 Dir(s) 101,746,388,992 bytes free
After that it is almost instantaneous. This is done by hitting cursor up and enter as fast as I can:
[ 4:56:14.29] C:\test>del procexp.exe && copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
[ 4:56:14.34] C:\test>del procexp.exe && copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
[ 4:56:14.38] C:\test>del procexp.exe && copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
[ 4:56:14.42] C:\test>del procexp.exe && copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
[ 4:56:14.47] C:\test>del procexp.exe && copy l:\procexp.exe .
1 file(s) copied.
Between .04 and .05 of a second. That can only come from local caching.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
