Yea, I wanted to work on a redirect driver that'd represent a remote filesystem locally and do snowball reads. (Reading more than x sequential blocks of any file starts a full tilt copy to the local cache.) Probably already on sourceforge somewhere.
You've probably already tried dropping the BT cache to something miniscule? You may gain fragmentation but the overhead would flatten. Big lazy writes can be evil.
