What are adfsbuffers really good for?

They should speed up the (hard)disc access but in fact they don't.
I tried many different tests (hd-speed tests, compiling c programs, ...)
on the harddisc of my A540 (RO2) with adfsbuffers 0 and adfsbuffers 256k.
EVERY test with adfsbuffers configured was slightly slower than the test
without adfsbuffers.
Hmmmmmm... funny isn't it?
