    Thanks for your report. Indeed, “eboostr speed check” is not able to run some apps correctly. But it exists only for test purposes and not affect overall product functionality. Anyway we will try to increase list of supported apps.

    Ok, thanks for feedback. Yes,I know some older apps do not close by just calling the latest exit API. You folks keep up the great work.
