Hi All,
I managed to make some observations regarding this, firstly I thought
that my 1.7Ghz celeron laptop perhaps wasnt fast enough,
so I built e-uae on a machine with a Dual core EMT64 3Ghz processor on
FreeBSD 6.2, the hardfile performance was
absolutely identical, not one bit faster!
I decided to make a new hardfiles (512MB RDB file) which I managed to
partition under OS3.9 after a dozen attempts of opening HDToolbox until
it finally didn't crash (under OS3.1's HDToolbox nothing showed up at
all!), then my hardfile showed up, partitioned it, formatted, then
installed OS 3.1. The hardfile access speed is not too bad, installed OS
3.9, hardfile performance was dreadful, almost unbearable, I'm not sure
whats changed in that the performance is so bad.
I did turn off the directory cache before I formatted, so I know thats
not the problem either.
Anyone else having this issue? Or am i just the odd unlucky person? lol.
