Huh? In what way?

which is also why ntfs sucks.
Why? Because reading a file actually means updating the time, hence
actually writing to disks. No read cache, slow write.

I do not understand what you are saying. Are you saying that old files
are not placed in read-cache when they are read?

If this is the case, how many files are we talking about and what is the
impact? Could I make my system faster by updating all files to 1 second
ago?

I think I completely misunderstand what is going on.
