It depends on your system. Given the amount of available RAM in todays
systems, I see not reason not to run the maximums.

FWIW, I use:

IFS=F:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /CACHE:2048 /CRECL:64 /AUTOCHECK:DEFHIJ

which is what you run. In addition, startup.cmd invokes:

F:\OS2\CACHE.EXE /MAXAGE:7500 /DISKIDLE:6000 /BUFFERIDLE:3000

which cuts down on the amount of time spent flushing the cache.

Regards,

Steven
