Uncached speed is, on my SSD, about 200MB/s. RAM cached speed (using, only, unallocated memory on 32-bit XP): about 40MB/s! (And I have the same problem when I add some 'unhidden' RAM to the cache.)

Zeioth on "TUTORIAL: How ratio works" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/tutorial-how-ratio-works#post-756 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:11:01 +0000 Zeioth 756@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ The first thing you should know, is the maximum amount of ratio that your computer can reach, because this changes on each computer. For this, you must use only RAM memory in eboostr (any amount will work, I used 512 MB), and to make a "Speed test". The result will be maximum speed that you can reach on eboostr. In my case, is ratio 21.0: <img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/1zlw4qq.jpg"> But RAM memory is expensive, and we need it for other uses. So, what we must pretend is to get closer to this number, but using different devices; Flash Memory, SSD, ESATA, hard discs, or little amounts of ram. For example, this is my config: <img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/v8ll53.jpg"> I've used a 4GB hard disk, 16GB esata Flash disk throttle, and 1GB RAM. But you can use different config depending on the devices that you have, and how many files you want to cache. I hope that I helped with this topic! Please, feel free to ask or correct this in whatever is needed, I hope that we all can learn about this. Notes: -Ebostrs will cache the most used files in the fastest devices. Using little amounts of RAM usually means improvement of speed in the system. The rest of devices will cache heavier files, like games or programs. -Is important to don't open programs, or play music while you're doing the "Speed test". Once you change the device, or created the cache, I recommend you to wait some minutes, or it could give wrong results.

When i test just with memory, can reach 21-27 ratio. Thanks for your great job team. mikei on "Focus on ram performance & compatibility" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/focus-on-ram-performance-compatibility#post-600 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:43:55 +0000 mikei 600@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ Do not worry much about Check speed numbers. Actually, check speed makes real activity simulation by doing multithread random reads with random size and positions for files listed in cache. So the overall numbers are very dependent on many factors: 1. Number of cache devices you have in eBoostr 2. Average file size for cached files 3. Total cached files number 4. Disk activity at check time 5. Number of file marked for deletion in cache. 6. Type of OS. 7. And so on. So check speed numbers are mostly for your computer speed up estimate rather than for PC to PC comparing. mradr on "Focus on ram performance & compatibility" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/focus-on-ram-performance-compatibility#post-590 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:45:21 +0000 mradr 590@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ Andrey Zarudnev said it should be way higher then what it should be, so theres something really going on here. Um, I guess check to make sure your DDR3 is really running at its rated speed and I'm not sure, but could it be limited by the new design on how the DDR3 works (this was a note for more advance users on the fourm)? Anything "new" about your pc; for example, the new I Core 7s or the new three channel support on the ram?

Try deleting the C:\ProgramData\eboostr folder, C:\eboostr and C:\Program Files (x86)\eBoostr if they exist before reinstalling eBoostr.

The system and and the overall speed is just snappier now compared to when eBoostr was installed. I don't know why this can be.

With IE this could be a different time to when the application is ready for input. If you have Suggested sites or RSS feeds enabled it could be doing stuff in the background but it looks ready. There are so many variables with IE, and other browsers, I would suggest we use simpler programs like word or excel to compare different PC's. chooky on "Speed Measure Tool - Only 1.18 ratio" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/speed-measure-tool-only-118-ratio#post-358 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:58:39 +0000 chooky 358@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ OK I am with you now! For some reason eBoostrmeasure.exe isn't measuring the time correctly on your machine or just for that program. Actually on my PC IE does not seem to take 4 seconds. It is nearly as quick as Chrome, certainly not 3 seconds longer! So this could be a bug with eBoostrmeasure.exe. Chrome has come along way since beta stage you may be pleasantly surprised.

Here's the result: iExplore 8 Direct Access 35.06, Cache Access 25.64, Ratio 1.40, Hits 97% Much the same as previously when it defaulted to Google. However there is no way I am waiting 30 seconds to open ie8. In the absence of a decent watch I timed the load by counting slowly in 1000s after the click. By the time I drew breath to say one thousand and two, the internet was there waiting!!! I can live with a load time of between 1 and 2 seconds. I rest my point about "eBoostrmeasure.exe" being inconsistent and would go further and declare that it is down right inaccurate! David G PS I tried Chrome in its beta stage but was so impressed with ie8 final that I've used it ever since. With ie8 defaulting to Google for a home page, my counting got 7 seconds for the first time and 4 seconds for the next 3 goes. Still pretty good in my book. chooky on "Post up your results!" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/post-up-your-results#post-350 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:14:31 +0000 chooky 350@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ saiarcot895, your cache hits for Chrome are only 20% If Chrome is your main browser you will get a nice performance boost by increasing its priority.
