Correct, it's just copying the files to a faster drive. But the disk cache has to read the files in the LD, create images from the data, create new files, put the image data into those files, then read those files again and create new images. If you're trying to just get faster reads, then yes, converting to .raw or .dpx or something fast like that will help, but you shouldn't be doing that in the disk cache but as a separate render. There isn't really a need to keep the LD interactive, as the input isn't likely to ever change.
