#Cache Testing
Tom,
Try the following:
Build a config. file using the configuration editor as follows:
BP:H:\
C:8000
BUF:8
F:64
S:OFF
The only real change is the number of buffers for Speedway. Using 8
buffers will improve the time it takes for files to be copied to the cache.
Since you do have a great machine<g>, you should see a noticable
improvement here.
The only other recommendation I can make is to use a larger cache to the
hard disk. My configuration is the same as above with the C: parameter
changed to @ 12 Meg. (Only if you can afford the space). It could be that
your disks could use the room. Although Mammels is one that I have
personally tested.
The new version will most certainly aleviate the problems with read times,
in that both background reads and partial file reads are supported. Hope
to have it for you soon. Reese.
