I've found that in eBoostr's \Lang folder, you can remove all the languages except for the one you're using. If fact, if you're using the English Language, you can even remove the entire \Lang folder. I've tried both of these methods and not experienced any problems.

To prevent all those unused language files from being automatically cached by eBoostr, it seems to me that the eBoostr installer should prompt the user for the language he wants, then copy only that language file to the installation folder. It's wasteful of both cache memory and disk space to keep all those unused language files.

Then you suggest to exclude files, remember the main eBoostr purpose - make your system faster and more responsive.

eBoostr ranks accessed files by number of times they read in the system. So if you have such files in cache it means they are accessed for reading often.

The latest version has more advanced rank logic. It uses load conditions at file access time and not incudes files read with low load conditions. Also there is "antispam" filter in system to protect from keeping all files due to antivirus and indexer reads.

So the bottom line is: eBoostr adopts to your regular PC usage to optimize performance. You may prevent eBoostr from the best results playing with excudes lot.

Excudes were added for two reasons:
1. Prevent from caching vital personal information like documents
2. Some race conditions connected with torrents and video.

Just let eBoostr work. We are adding more smart staitistics in every release.

I know the main goal of eboostr, and I try follow that goal. These are files that are usally in the background and are usally just read a few times anyways, or the ones I suggested are mostly.

eBoostr ranks accessed files by number of times they read in the system. So if you have such files in cache it means they are accessed for reading often.

(Warning its a "What If")
True and not true. Take zip and "installing" programs for example. These programs are usally read only once and then are kept as back up, or sometimes are read a few times over and over for what ever reasons (reinstalling from corruptions, or as backup). In that case, they are not needed usally and just take up space. Also, alot of the things I suggested are quit big in sizes, and from what I know about flash. It's better to keep things small for its random I/Os given that HDD do have a higher sequentail I/O just a way slower random for smaller files. (Do note: I said they all are bigger; I mean most are usally big.)

Best said, I would edit my first post if I could to say this. Pluse anyways, these are just suggestions users could do if they wanted to. I never said eboostr should autoly exclude them or a user should.

Zeioth:
Not sure where the .ini file is anymore. Remember these are just suggestions and you should look at them to see if you have any of em in your cache befor you just start adding them to your exclude list. Also make sure thats what you want. Aka, graphics for example can be but are part of your program, so it be wise to keep em sometimes. Now loading images of your family, not as much, not usally or on "spurts" do you look at your images, then it be wise to go on and maybe have them excluded if they are in your cache.
