other than i believe you still cannot use journaling on the caching
partition, there isnt much to do.

however, as with all disks, the closer to the beginning of the disk
the faster the filesystem will perform.  this is why people now suggest
putting swap at the beginning of the disk (ignoring any tiny boot
partitions you might need).
