PrimoCache is good.. not to mean anything else, but: The problem with synthetically-benchmarking "reads" is that no matter this data is already compressed (not just all 0 or all 1) it RE-RUNS the benches (five times) with the same data .... then it shows the highest average (logarythmic) r...

Well it actually works with batches: Placed an invisible.vbs on C:\: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "" & WScript.Arguments(0) & "", 0, False Created this BATCH named "Scan-Rootkits.bat" on C:\: "C:\Program Files\PrimoCache (Beta)\rxpcc.exe"...

I notice that running a virus/malware/spyware/rootkit-scanner causes the cache to fill up and go "missing"... thats normal, because you read ALL your disks-data once not in intention to read it again. The idea is now to add an exclusion-application list for Primo, so we can tell our cache ...

And the reason why writes are important here - the game I'm most likely to play is the game I just downloaded. So caching the writes to the volume should ensure the first read comes from the cache. So this games run directly from download-folder and need no extraction and no installation? If it doe...

But aside from using RAMDIsk for that task, here is my recommendation for cache-configuration: Cache Task for C:\ (SSD): R/W L1-Size: 12 GiB (or higher maybe 18GiB if you do not need another seperate cache-task for HDDs) Block-Size: 16 Kb block-size (or lower depending how much additioonal CPU you w...

None Cache-configuration would guarantee max speed. What you need is a >50 Megabyte RAM-Drive (1000*50Kb) fixed size files configured to DIO, NTFS, no compression, no searchindex Make that one automatically load on boot and save on shutdown and symlink your folder to the RAMDisk. If the data is crit...

Argh im stupid... if you manually save and re-load it, then data might have been changed in between... so you load old data xD So when i load my databases the next day from manual saved cache.... yesterdays work "seems" lost, because i did not auto-save swap on shutdown. xD Im sry the hole...

A write-protected system partition which all writes are re-directed to another partition. If caching on this system partition, there's no need to flush write data because all changes on this partition will be discarded after reboots. If something inside the OS (driver/app) is active that re-directs...

Beeing able to pause and start a cache-task is a good function. But to take full advantage, what about beeing optionally able to swap all the cached-block data back to disk, so it frees up memory for i.e. loading a RAMDisk. Then after I unload the RAM-Disk for my game whatsoever I can click on Start...

If fire up a few games, say 5GB so of reads. That's cached in the L1... No it's not cached in the L1!!!!!!...sure, the EXE is, but not any of the game-data itself, you will have that completely in L1 maybe after a complete playthru.. but i doubt you found all object that invoke read of all data :D ...
