Hello all,
Just been runnign Arachne out of W95, and notice how quiet the HDD was
compared to running it out of DOS! I assume thisis because W95 has
clever caching and better use of RAM, so the question is, is there any
way of getting a similar effect using DOS? I know I can run parts of
Arachne from a RAM disk, but this seems to me like fixing the symptom,
rather than the fault, and it means that I have to run a RAM disk before
Arachne, whereas if I can improve the memory usage and/or HDD caching,
that will benefit all my DOS programs. Presently I only go into W95 for
the benefits of the caching, and to occasionally open pictues that
people keep emailing me in funny formats, like PDF.
Thanks,
Bruce.
