> Why is FreeDOS so much slower (60% no UDMA, 14% with UDMA)??? this may depend on file placement and free space fragmentation as well, where MSDOS uses an alghorithm other then freedos what EXACTLY is RAWSPEED measuring ? use RAWREAD, and you'll get different results (usually MUCH better), so RAWSPEED is probably measuring something else > Is this consistent with other experiments? no. > Strange to see that cache delays things caching is useful only, if the same data are accessed twice (at least) else it gets only in the way. tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
