  now the manual says 256K cache compatible but since that was printed 512K modules were made and I think possibly even 1MB. the 512 is likely what I would get if compatible.
  
  
  
  But there are others issues. Is a cache that is compatible with 6100s-8100s compatible with the Performa?

  The 6100s-8100s were Nubus machines, and their cache was incompatible with the PCI machines, so the answer would be no. You might want to consider a G3 upgrade for the L2 cache slot instead, it will make a huge difference.
