I have not looked at the code but at your argument. Your argument was
that computers these days are faster and consequently you do not need
caching any more. But accessing information through an ssh connection
may well be slower than getting it from floppy disk. Granted, NFS files
will tend to be used mostly in settings where reasonable throughput may
be expected. At any rate, Emacs offers a lot regarding remote access
and thus a rationale based on local disk speed alone is not covering
all.
