Tha main use of cachefs I've seen was Sun's network-booting workstations. We had a bunch of old suns (IPX, that was a 68k), with small disks used to cache / , /usr and so on from an nfs server. You have the benefits of just one centralized install and the ones from local storage for more used files....
