Several bugs and some comments

By Paul Siu | December 15th, 2008 |

I tried eboostr beta 3 on two computers. Both are XP machines. but one has 2 Gb of memory and the other has only 512 Mb.

On the 512 Mb machine, I notice a problem where when control panel is up, the cpu utilization goes up to 100% even though no additional memory was being used. This happened when I deleted the cache on a USB key.

In addition, on the 512 Mb machine, the control panel reported slow speed of 110K/s, but when I ran a speed test, it reported about 12-14 Mb/s.

Finally, I haven’t notice any speed boost. File open and web browsing seems to be pretty much the same as before. I am wondering if there’s anything I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

Installed on NB with dual processor and 2GB memory

Used a 8GB Sandish micro cruzer and assigned 4GB to the cache. Ran smoothly thus far for the last 3 hours. Faster access for Internet and web displays. Importantly is the stability experienced so far.  Monty

Beta Feedback

Done quite a bit of comparison between version 2 and version 3 and noticed a 5-10 second increase in speed on quite a few applications including ( PSE3, Opera, Dreamweaver 3, Firefox).  No crashes as of yet.  Great software.

Caching Paused Uncommanded

By Mainframer | December 12th, 2008 |

Caching paused for no apparent reason. Clicking on Edit, Restart Caching, causes cache to rebuild. Then, after e few minutes, without apparent reason, caching paused again. There is nothing unusual in the system log. I’m on Build 473.

[Suggestion] Build cache on the fly

By Big Muscle | |

a) When some file is read, some eBoostr’s thread (for example with Idle priority) should check statistics and when this file is read often, it should be placed to cache immediately (and not on next cache build). When there’s not enough space in cache, some unimportant (or obsolete) file should be removed from cache at first.

b) eBoostr should use file deletion handler and when some file is deleted from disk, eBoostr should remove it from cache immediately (and not on next cache rebuild)

I think these two suggestion would optimize cache usage.

virtual memory problem

Hello!

Eboostr is the great!

USB stick usage

By Keith | December 11th, 2008 |

I have assigned 510MB system memory and 2GB usb stick as cache devices.  After using the computer for 8 hours, the USB cache fill still shows 0%.  Seems like it’s not being used at all.
