Just to clarify, when I posted that delay with only 17GB cached it was due to a Win logo freeze at the usual point, but it was way shorter (only about 2-3s) than annoying ones with >22GB filled. They seem related, anyway.
Also, after reducing the caching partion I’ve had no more casual freezes later in the boot with stuck hdd led lit. Those happened when cache was near full.
Most probably, a 2/3 ssd size cache partition should be near the limit before trouble happens for most, given that it won’t fill completely. I still hope most issues can be solved either by software, or a ssd firmware update.
