I still have beta 2 installed, and have used it a couple of weeks now. load times for most apps I use on a regular basis (Photoshop, illustrator, firefox, guitar pro 5, guitar rig, cubase…) have decreased drastically; as much as half the time it normally takes in most cases. Working in photoshop and illustrator at the same time was a real pain in the ass, but eboostr has helped considerably. the only buggy thing I’ve really noticed is when my wife logs on her user, it will lock up most of the time, and only a cold reboot will fix it…
I’m downloading beta 3 next…

The “open this file with…” shell extension is no more working. I choose a program to open the file with from the proper window, but the program trying to open the file is not the one i’ve chosen!

I barely notice any improvement except in some very, very rare instances. I’m using beta 3.
Every time I run any test when using eBoostr, the hard disk loads always spike to full. Is this really normal? I think in real-world usage there aren’t usually high hard disk loads unless you’re running disk-intensive apps and a system that swaps to the hard disk a lot.
One more thing. What’s the recommended capacity for your flash memory device and the read/write speed? And do more devices mean that they work in some sort of a raid mode (mirroring)?

Hi!
This software is great (I have Beta 3 installed), but I have the following problem with it:
When I try to work with an avi file with the application: MpegModifierMod, the usullay fast process gets slow, and in the end it stops with some memory exception failure (if I remember correctly)
The software opens an avi file, does some modification in it (changes some parameters) and writes back the file. The error happens at opening the avi file.

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.

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!

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!

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…

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!!!
