Disk Cache ?
I did a few tests with the various sizes of disk cache as I was trying to set it.. I did notice a few odd things.
Here are two seperate JPG's of Cacheman 4.1 with a 96MB disk cache allotment. The screen shots are an hour apart (Without rebooting) And the only programs opened are as follows :
From Boot : http://geektechspot.webjump.com/diskcacheboot.jpg
Mcafee VShield + Webscan + VSStat.
MS Intellipoint
Starter.exe (Soundpanel for SB PCI 128)
Webshots Desktop (My fiancee insisted on this)
Keyboard Hot Key Program
After an Hour : http://geektechspot.webjump.com/diskcache.jpg
Above plus at various times have run
MIRC Client
IE 5.5
MS PhotoEditor
ICQ
G@H client .98
and that is about it.
Here are some quick observations
1) Once the Disk Cache fills it doesn't empty or even lessen? (Even though I was led to believe it was dynamic)
2) From a cold boot 55MB of Disk Cache is used up (if you let it use that much)
3) As far as I can tell there is no limitation to how much Disk Cache you can use and the apparent effectiveness of different sizes up to 128MB
No real questions as I am persuing the matter but if anyone has any comments or actual information, feel free to put it in the thread
[Edit also forgot to mention that Genome had been running in the background]
