Build 482 Cache Build

By Moonie | December 27th, 2008 | 3:13 am

I just udated to Build 482, it didnt even require cache rebuild, but I still decided to do a manual cache rebuild for my SD-Card, and I noticed a huge difference in cache build performance.

I also added a 512MB system memory cache, seeing that this build has optimized memory cache for faster boot-ups, after which I manually rebuilt the cache on my SD-Card again, but when I view the cache content of the SD-Card there are a lot of “Deleted Entries” in the cache, which I am assuming are boot-up items so they have been moved to the system memory cache.

My question is if this affect the way the SD-Card cache is used, or will clear up later on?

Thank you.

    I wanted to test the cache building speed myself, however I haven’t noticed a difference.

    As I only have 512 MB of system memory (stupid of me to choose RD-RAM in the first place!), I allocate 4 gigs to the cache and it takes quite long to finish the cache allocation process. The completion status for building cache is displayed in the main screen but is it possible to implement a status bar during cache allocation? It looks like eBoostr is no longer responding when a large cache file is allocated…

    Funny, it seemed that with the memory cache the boot up was slower than without it. Also I noticed that the “Deleted Entries” in the SD-Card cache were still there even after a couple of reboots and manual cache rebuilds.

    I am currently just running on the SD-card cache again now, I removed both cache devices, full formatted the SD-Card with NTFS, and to my surprise the cache file allocation under NTFS was super fast, almost instantaneous! Although the cache build was roughly the same performance.

    I havent noticed any performance gain from using NTFS except for the cache file allocation, no performance degradation though either.
