   Well in my time of Testing i have found several Things that could be Improved upon.
   I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 and have Ebooster build 529.

   1. Before Ebooster when starting my PC up it was fast now With Ebooster it is slower than it was before.

   Id suggest finding a way to make sure Ebooster starts up First, So ebooster Can Help start the other Programs.

   2 Ebooster Seems To act slowly When starting up Programs that Ebooster has cached, meaning it does not act right Away when starting a Program up.

   3 Also Ebooster When using A cached Second Internal Hard drive seems To Cache well but not read the Cache as fast as it should.

   4 It be nice if Ebooster Could also Cache Devices as well it already does Programs.

   5 the application Priority Seems not to Set the Programs into the cache Like it should. they start the same speed Without ebooster as they do with ebooster.

   I am thinking something isn't set up correctly.
   First upgrade to version 536 from here http://beta.eboostr.com/download/
   What type and size caches have you got setup RAM,USB,HDD?
   How much memory in your system?
   If you do the speed test in help what speed does it report?
   You may only see the improvement in opening applications the first time they are opened after booting. After that most of the application is in windows caches.

   I'm going to assume you are using a system memory cache, which means eBoostr has to load the entire cache data into RAM at startup. This can be slow depending on the size of your cache, which means the hard drive has to do more seeking as it tries to load a bunch of stuff (unless you have NCQ, which I'm not sure if eBoostr takes advantage of).

   The hard drive is probably the boot-up bottleneck, so the standard defragmentation techniques are in order (boot to another OS, be it dual-boot or BartPE or something), and see if you can't make the defragmenter force the entire cache file into the front of the disk as a continuous file.

   (As writing this, I just thought of a potential feature: delayed cache loading for non-startup files as to avoid bottlenecking the system at the hard disk.)

   Well Im using a HDD OE internal Hard drive Which i stated in my post. Not using Ram and my PC has over 1gb of ram to start with.

   The PC itself Runs allot better Without Ebooster than it did , Especially starting up, When i run a Program i run it one day then the next either way still the same start up speed. I did not run the Test but i know Starting up is allot slower than it was before and Other Programs starting up Are the same speed as without Ebooster. I can see when its loading and using Ebooster it just doesn't Seem to make the Programs any faster. I am installing the Newest Version and will test this some more to see if that fixed it. And my hard disk is not Fragmented at all strangely, and I'm using 2gb of space on a 80gb hard drive, Ebooster says the Random Access speed is 11488.

   I've also tried running a program shutting it off then manually making it build cache to see if that speed things up.

   My suggestion is to ADD a Persistent Connection Option To Ebooster and make Ebooster keep checking the Cache on the hard drive So the hard drive never Stop and the Random access speed can increase more making Ebooster Run faster and allowing Programs to Start up faster.

   But using more load on the Flash drive, ram or Hard drive You are using.

   Persistent Connection would help Ebooster raise to greater Speeds/heights

   If you are only using a cache on a second HDD then you may not see much increase in performance as your cache access is the same speed as direct access. If you made a RAM cache of even 250MB you would see a difference as RAM is much faster than HDD.
