Disk is definitely not removed from the equation by rrdcached, the use of the disk is potentially reduced, that's all.

If you make 1000 writes to 1 RRD file in a second, rrdcached will help you by reducing 1000 writes to just 1 write. If however you make 1 write to 1000 RRD files in a second, rrdcached is going to make no difference at all. Before without rrdcached, all 1000 RRD files would have been touched once, afterwards in the rrdcached case 1000 RRD files are touched once, so no change in performance.

Graham
