The general feeling is to use the os which you are most comfortable
with.
There is also an interesting presentation at :
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/presentations/os2002/wessels_duane.ppt
Which seems to suggest that freebsd+diskd and linux+ext2+aufs had the

This info could be outdated however.
And you may not need this highest level optimum tweaking; this
also expects on the number of users (?) expected on using the cache
(estimated http reqs/sec ?)
