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.
