Re: Re-configure without re-boot?

Yes, but I think support's concern was that with the current version, users can continue to use their systems with no loss of cached data, until they reboot. I would like the option to just apply changes immediately, even if it entails losing cached data. Just add a choice to do so -- without multip...

Re: Re-configure without re-boot?

Hmmm. How about an option on the pop-up reminder to apply the changes immediately anyway, with a warning that data may be uncached? Something like: Applying changes immediately without a reboot will cause currently cached data to be lost. [Apply changes immediately] [Wait for next reboot for changes...

Re-configure without re-boot?

I'm not sure if this is a WAD feature, or something that can/should be changed? Currently, if I set parameters and click on "Start Caching" but later want to change any settings, when I click on "Configure Caching," I'm advised that new settings won't be applied until after a reb...

I had almost forgotten that one can select the data size in CDM, so I ran a series of CDM benchmarks with a 500MB size with the 512MB L1 cache in FancyCache. The writes were all pretty consistent running CDM six times c...

Re: Consistent results? How to measure?

Oh, I just noticed something else. After finally posting that long rambling post above, I decided to check on RAM usage on my computer (8GB RAM installed.) When I opened Task Manager, it showed 5.63 GB in use. I then stopped caching the HDD where I had set a 512MB Level-1 cache. RAM usage dropped to...

Consistent results? How to measure?

I just discovered FancyCache the other day, and it has been interesting (and fun!) learning about it both online (here and other forums) and via experimentation/experience. Probably because I'm a brand new member, I am "not authorized to define a signature," so here's a summary of my compu...
