Yuri,
What setting are you using for max-inodes? With 64 Meg, you probably could increase it to 6000 or 8000. Cacheing under 2.1.xx is less "sticky" than under 2.0.xx, so it recovers more quickly from changes. But if the total number of files (or cache pages) greatly exceeds memory, it won't remember very much from one execution to the next. Two kernel source trees (src + dest) might be enough greater than your inode count so that little is retained.
Regards, Bill
