is there a cache option for video playback

Maya will automatically cache your image sequence if you bring in your image sequence as an imagePlane. If you're using your tiffs as a texture on a 3d object, I don't think there is any way to make it faster beyond getting a faster processor. You might want to consider converting your files to iff files--I hear they are easier for Maya to decode. Also, your hard drive might be the bottleneck so converting to jpg might be worth a try too.

actually, there seems to be an option to cache images used as textures on objects. :)

in the file node, check for a group called Interactive Sequence Caching Options and check Use Interactive...

just remember to set a sequence end time.
