Cache hit rate and performance

Hi

Take the following data for example, basically:
1. Is it good if cache hit rate is high? How high should be normally?
2. Miss rate is high means the cache size is not big enough, right?

You are starting from the wrong point. What is the problem that the user is experiencing? If none then stop.

Thank you. I guess you mean nothing is wrong with that cache setting.
