I have an older machine to a certain degree. It had been acting extremely slow lately. A friend recommended I try eBoostr so I joined this Beta test team. I do a lot of work with very large pdf files and what would normally have taken me days or weeks to do because I would have to waite for the computer to refresh for 5 or 10 minutes every page now takes me hours. Thank You! MAJOR DIFFERENCE! Your program is great in my book.

There was one request I didn’t make in the last beta.
Is it possible to add the percentages to the right or left of the main windows bars so I don’t have to put my mouse over the bars so it pops up? You can make optional to show or hide them

Well, eBoostr is great product for XP users.
I’m using it on several xp computers. As mentioned by TyO, compression of cached data could be a very interesting feature. Maybe type of stored data is not suitable to be compressed but maybe it is worth to try :)
I have problems using eBoostr on notebook (usb stick in docking station) after STR, undocking -> eboost cannot find cache file and leads to many file not found errors … so i decided to use ram only and for ram any compression could help

please show xxx Mbyte hidden memory allocated, xxx Mbyte real memory allocated for ‘Advance Memory Cache info’

I try eboostr 4 beta. I have 4G memory. Windows XP sp3 with latest patch. After I check Enable use of hidden system memory, it show error message, tell that can not detect hidden system memory.

Using a compression alghorithm for e-booster cache files, something like lzma sdk (public domain) or some other with fast decompression..
Usb Sticks would gain speed and quantity of stored files but sacrifice some cpu use.
Maybe just as an option when adding cache device…

By medeni73 | May 16th, 2009 |
I hope you didnt gave up from eBoostr guys?
It would be shame for such a good proggie… Hope to hear some official words from you and hopefully new annuncment saying new version of eBoostr is on its way… :)

Hi there,
I’ve noticed the following behavior when running eBoostr 3.0 (Build 491).
When (re)building the cache, the EBstrSvc.exe eats up dramatically more memory with each iteration and does not release this anymore. After a while this results in eBoostr taking up most of my (virtual) memory, causing my computer to slow down to a crawl (“page thrashing”). I’m not 100% sure yet, but I suspect this also happens when the automatic (background) cache-update kicks in, thus causing long-running machines to run out of memory.
I work ‘around’ the issue by issuing the following commands now & then :
NET STOP “eboostr service”
NET START “eboostr service”
Some statistics on EBstrSvc.exe : (obtained from ProcessExplorer)
Situation / Private Bytes / Virtual size
after restart / 3,504k / 22,212k
build cache 1 / 152,192k / 188,624k
build cache 2 / 296,716k / 330,584k
build cache 3 / 440,416k / 472,554k
build cache 4 / 582,576k / 617,492k
build cache 5 / 726,104k / 759,452k
build cache 6 / 867,252k / 909,604k
etc…
This sequence is rather consistent when repeating the tests.
FYI : I have 1 USB stick, NTFS formatted, with a 4Gb cache on it (83% used).
If you’d need more info, feel free to ask.
