Yeah, I've been considering moving the cache folders back, as it really did make a large difference. The other challenge is the size. Too small, more overwrites and less drive life. Too big and my already ALMOST full drive becomes even more cramped. Still debating it.
Note that I also found a couple of corrupt files on the SSD recently. In this case, they were in the install cache (files stored to enable reinstall, uninstall, etc.). That has me a bit worried. Is this simply a couple of bad "sectors" (whatever the equivalent is in SSD-speak) or is this a sign of deterioration? Who knows?
