I have tried both the CD Speedway program, and the Lightwin package. I can honestly say that I have never hated 2 programs more than these cache programs. The documentation absolutely sucks with cdspeedway. And both programs actually slow things down if you are using cds that don't go back for the same information. This is because the cache program will cache as much as it can to the hard drive or ramdisk, and then use that info if it can. I know that when I used either program with my Nautilus disks, it took about 1 minute more to load the opening screen, and then after that about 25% longer for everthing else. The exception to that was when I returned to the last item, it was right there with little or no wait. So, now you have one opinion!
