Interesting Anomaly; Speed loss from Beta 3 to Beta 4

By GlennPorter | October 18th, 2007 | 5:02 pm

When I tested Beta 3 I achieved a 2.4 Ratio without a C Drive Cache.    With Beta 4 I decided to play with adding the C Drive cache on a drive faster than my flash card resulting in a .94 ratio.     I uninstalled the C drive Cache and reloaded the 2 GB Attache flash drive resulting in a 1.8 ratio, which compared to Beta 3 is a fairly significant speed loss.    

As has been my practice, I uninstalled eBoostr with each Beta and formated the flash drive for a fresh start, even cleaning the registry.    Up to this point the results have continued to improve to the 2.4 level with Beta 3.    I have been loading and unloading programs for most of the day, but the results have just gotten up to 1.8, is this version slowed by design or has there been some other significant change?     I will continue to work with Beta 4 and report any postitive changes related to this beta under this heading.

    i’m not sure, it’s just a feeling: try to change the amount of allocated ram. i’m still testing the performances with different sizes.
