I think the answer is that unless you have the battery, you don't have
write cache, only read (at least under 5i).  Also, the bbwc gives you
more memory.  The onboard 5i had only 4MB.  The bbwc gives you 64mb.

Why would a battery WC perform better then an A/C powered WC? Assuming
there *is* A/C..
I always assumed battery WC is there to prevent transactional DBes from
having corrupt records due to a sudden power failure. So it will not
mark a transaction done, while in fact it is stuck in cache. Am I wrong?
