Depends a bit on the "application". From my experience I-Cache is most
important. But for memory intensive applications (JFFS2 might be such a beast)
D-cache could be very helpful as well. Best is to have both enabled of course.

Defining the cache commands doesn't insure that caches are really enabled.
Some platforms don't support I- and/or D-cache in U-Boot. I can only speak for
PPC4xx which has I-cache enabled and "usually" D-cache disabled (because of
cache-coherency issues). This might be different on your platform. Again, just
enabling the cache commands will most likely not help here.
Best regards,
