Speed

Made data transfer extremely slow

Significant slow down.

After buying a new usb flash drive (1gb), BETA2 worked well for me.  BETA3 however, slowed down my computer tremendously.  after repeated attempts to test and rebuild the cache, i just gave up.  I’m going to try again in a few days, since i have much work to do and can’t sacrifice that much speed.

Unable to test speed

I don’t know maybe it’s not working properly on my system but i got these speed results:

Direct access speed: -1.#IND00 MB/s
Cache enabled access speed: -1.#IND00 MB/s
Ratio: -1.#IND00

Plus when i go to menu Edit-Show cache content, the list appears empty, like nothing is cached!

Great but not amazing.

I’ve submitted my testing via the forms. Just wanted to comment here about over all performance. I’m on a computer attached to a domain running antivirus services, daemon ware and has some other startup services. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear there is a performance boost to system startup. I’m guessing this has to do with the fact that eboostr is a service it’s self and a lot of service startup is processor/memory bound and not so much and issue of hdd read/write. I have noticed that programs using .net and other windows based content(fonts, libs etc.) see the biggest performance increase. Our service center call tracking application used to take 45 seconds to startup and now it takes barely 15. On the other hand things like inkscape and firefox don’t seem to see as much of a performance boost as they tend to use gtk components that arn’t as tightly linked to windows resources. Is there something in the works to help performance for these sort of applications as well? Possibly a profile manager to let the user adjust what gets cached and where the performance is seen? I use a lot of open source windows apps and quite a few if not all use the windows GTK packages.  Thanks for the consideration!

3.1 speed test on some apps

ASUS A4K, mobile workstation: athlon Xp 3200+, hd IDE 80 gb, 2 gb ram kingston, usb 2.0, pendrive 4 gb transcend jfv30 usb 2.0, WinXP professional, Firefox internet browser, eBoostr 3.1 with 3048 Mb cache

Here some speed test. Now i have the 11th ArchiCAD release. ArchiCAD 10 was fastets with eboostr 2 build 300 (ratio 3,5 or above). The 11th release doesn’t feel eboostr, i think…

GTR2

After installing eboostr and running the required tests for the beta, I decided that I would try running one of my computer games, GTR2, that requires some pretty powerful hardware to run at full steam. Running this program without eboostr seemed ok for what it was suppose to do, but after the install of eboostr, I have found that its running at a much greater speed and I’m seeing no glitches in the game from a system freeze. I mention that because sometimes before eboostr, I would get a system glitch. Thanks eboostr!!!

Other Languages

Hi all,

im still finding more things about your software but it is Great!

Still i have a suggestion:

Make this program in other languages.

I self wil volunteer for the position translator, if i am able to, i have no problem translating this program to Dutch ( The netherlands) because for other people this would be very helpfull.

Hope you do something with this idea

I had to uninstall because my computer would blue screen

Over the course of two days and a reinstall of windows I determined that I would not be able to run the current version on my computer because of some incompatibility that caused my computer to blue screen constantly. I had to uninstall in safe mode to continue using my computer. I hope somehow this problem is resolved as I would love to continue to use this product.
