i am not reccomending 'cache bypass' for everyone. if we ever get the mods
i certainly wouldnt ask for it to be placed into openafs. its just
something we thought about doing. getting >1G files from afs is very very
slow through the cache manager. possibly something like 'afs ftp'
might be an easier solution though. i.e. a direct read from the fileserver
at the userspace level.
