eboostr3 after extensive & boring routine tests on a pass of my hard drive using antispy software and a £1.99 512MB lexar memory stick, the application reduced the hard drive Pass operating time from a std 33:30 mins to 30:10 .. prioritising the software with the option in eboostr3 made no difference whatsoever .. the memory stayed unused most of the time either way .. using the software supplied with windows vista the time for the same run was reduced to 26:40 .. Vista 33:30 to 26:40 … eboostr3 33:30 to 30:10 …as it is eboostr3 sucks at the moment .. it needs to be more active .. it also appears to have swithching priority problems when scanning large-ish file(s) .. basically it failed on the non visible portion of data scanning

eBoostr is not supposed to speed up hard drive scans. It speed up access to often used files and can significantly reduce time of application launch.

I am worried by your reply, as an ordinary user I need that which ordinary users also seek, the inbuilt offering from Vista offers twice the improvement of eboostr3, so it looks as though Microsoft know what they are about .. & what we need also! To be honest your comment does not help because it does not improve the product .. I was asked to help improve the product, not criticise the source of aid eboostr is paying for with its offer of free licence(s)

OK, greenie, thank you for your feedback.
I just want to note that using a 512MB cache file can not increase the read speed to all the files located on your hard disk (I am sure the total size value is greater than several GBs.) This is just impossible.
