A couple things about distributed cache

Stacy Simpkins

Don’t run it on the server that runs search, excel services, or project server. – Per Microsoft

run it on at least two servers in your farm, if you can.

set the cluster to use a nice even amount of Ram, make sure each host in the cluster has at least double that amount of memory

Use this command to set the cache size in megabytes

Use-Cachecluster

Get-CacheHost

Get-CacheHostConfig< HostName> <CachePortNumber>

Update-SpDistributedCacheSize -CachesizeInMb 4096

 

 

Use this series of commands to run the app fabric under an account other than the farm account.  Make sure to run this on the server that is the cachehost.

 

$farm = Get-SPFarm

$cacheService = $farm.Services | where {$_.Name -eq "AppFabricCachingService"}

$accnt = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity domain_name\user_name

$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = "SpecificUser"

$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.ManagedAccount = $accnt

$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Update()

$cacheService.ProcessIdentity.Deploy()
