Well, that's the only card I now use on my BP and I don't think that it
particularly slows down performance, with the exception of the 2+5
combination, which moves to the last file you were reading. It's simply a
fact that the more directory entries you have, the slower performance is
going to be, but I consider the tradeoffs vastly better than the alternative
of having several smaller cards.

Subject: [bookport] 4 GB card and BP performance


I was considering getting a 4 GB flash card. Someone told me a friend of his
had a 4 GB card and it slowed the file search and naming of the BP. Has
anyone else had this problem?
 
I figured maybe that person has too many files in the same directory. So if
others could tell me how your BP performs with a 4 GB card I would
appreciate it.
 
Thansk much,
