Although I know nothing of the implementation, I have studied its
behavior somewhat and think that it does not do immediate
write-through. By "immediate write-through" I mean that data
destined to be written to disk will not necessarily be written
right away. For instance, if I set a large cache and then launch
Red Ryder and receive a file, the incoming data will not be
written out until the file is closed (at the end of the
transfer). So the write-through is not immediate, although it is
"automatic" (a poor term).
