Not from what I have seen.

IMO, that statement is true. FAT32 is not only faster, it is much more
reliable when the cache is not used. I have an older laptop with Win98
installed. I use BackAgain/2000 (running under eCS) to back it up. If
I enable the cache, it will never make it all the way through without
hanging. There is no trouble, at all, when the cache is not used. I
also find that using FAT32 on a USB stick works MUCH better without
the cache. Unfortunately, FAT32 is rather slow, but it works well,
when I don't use the cache.
