Speed check

By LR Fox | October 3rd, 2007 | 10:47 am

I ran the speed check program that comes with Beta 2 on both Firefox and MS Word. I ran each test 5 times. I’m not sure what is being measured since I could not work in either program when the speed check ran. I need a measure of time saved while I am actually working. The times seemed impressive: 1.6 for Word and 1.9 for Firefox.  But am I saving time when I open  a  program or when I use a program? Other feedback seems to indicate that being the case.

Also, when I look at the contents of the cache, what exactly am I looking at? Why these programs and services?

Thanks

    eBoostr speeds up disk access for frequently used files.
    You will get the most effect during an application startup, when the speed of a hard disk is critical.

    The cache file consists of the most frequently read files.
