Get that SSD some more room, 4GB is way too little free space. Normally a
SSD needs some extra headroom to perform at its best... or that is what i
have been told by more knowledgeable people.

I have set up my AE to use 500GB on a 3x256GB SSD raid-0, and that fills up
pretty quickly, so i would recommend to setup the cache to as much as you
can afford. :-)
Actually it is always full on 500GB, but AE is nice enough to just delete
the oldest cache when it runs out of the allocated amount. Right Todd?
