yes, at least I think so as kernel uncompressing is really faster when
using this setting.

Just add CFG_CMD_CACHE to #define CONFIG_COMMANDS in your
include/configs/x.h file
and you will be able to get cache informations :
=> icache
Instruction Cache is ON
=> dcache
Data (writethrough) Cache is ON

The strange thing is that :
- it's possible to turn icache off but not to enable it again
- it's not possible to turn dcache off.

=> icache off
Instruction Cache is OFF
=> icache on
Instruction Cache is OFF
=> dcache off
Data (writethrough) Cache is ON
=> dcache on
Data (writethrough) Cache is ON

I'm trying to understand why.
