If you use a large file system, then it is better to have some cache mechanism
to hold directory information in memory, or otherwise you risk to spend a lot
of time reading from disk when you change directory.
On the other hand, caching is not nice if you make frequent changes to the
files via unix commands that do not interact directly with Workspace Manager.
I imagine the LArge File System option lets you choose between caching or
not... (at least, it seems to work this way for me
