And many are having to use ridiculously high ReserveCache settings to disable the player's use of it, as it otherwise screws up playback too much.

So, it's not "more memory, the better" for the player? Why?


The player's read-ahead caching algorithm ties up the system too much, making it unresponsive while doing the disk reads. Lots of RAM == longer period of slow response (buttons, display..).
