Re: Ramdisk small block low speed.

Apologies about mistaking SSP, though if Windows Defender (WD) is your only scanner, you should consider replacing or supplementing it with other security software (this is very much a topic for another thread though). The System properties look OK with fancyrd.sys having 8 threads to correspond wit...

Re: Ramdisk small block low speed.

"System" CPU is high, though that would be at least in part due to the ramdisk driver. Does it drop to near 0% when the benchmark ends, or does it remain quite high? You seem to be running Windows Defender (msmpeng.exe) and Spy Stopper Pro (ssp.exe) for anti-malware. I don't know much abou...

Re: Ramdisk small block low speed.

SysVR, Your CPU usage is far higher than I would expect (what CPU is your system using?) - my experience with CDM is that it would max out one core and make significant usage of two more (though the queuing part of the benchmark would be spread out over more cores). Check (using the utilities mentio...

Re: Best settings for cache?

I've not noticed any significant benefit from extending Defer-Write beyond the default 10s myself and you do increase the risk of data loss with higher settings. If you're confident about your backup (and restore) regime, feel free to experiment.

Re: Ramdisk small block low speed.

Sequential access tends to be faster than random access whatever the medium for different reasons (for hard discs, it's the time taken to move the head to a new track, for RAM the time taken to fire up the appropriate Row/Column Address Strobes). In my experience, the difference between best/worst c...

Re: Best settings for cache?

I would argue in favour of larger block sizes (smaller index = faster to search and you gain an element of pre-caching). Enabling Pre-Fetch makes a big difference if you reboot your system regularly. Aside from that, PrimoCache is heavily influenced by memory performance. If you haven't done so, you...

Re: How to use shared ram as L1 cache?

Welcome to the forums Bryan, If you post details of your laptop (make, model), then it may be possible for others here to provide advice - certainly if you have an "Advanced BIOS Settings" page, you should be able to access it. Check with your documentation (there may be a default password...

Re: Manual Downloads Available?

Having a PDF copy of such documentation would be useful, and shouldn't require too much work to create.

You could try storing them on a ramdisk... ;)
