A buggy utility that is the Windows port of the GNU time command. > Btw, how do you use a warm disk cache? Is there a setting somewhere for that? If you run the benchmarks two times, the second time if you have enough free RAM and your system isn't performing I/O on disk for other purposes, then Windows keep essentially the whole file in a cache in RAM. On Linux too there is a disk cache. The HD too has a cache, so the situation is not simple and probably they are not fully under control of Windows. Bye, bearophile
