The CDT and copywaza lab

[KTE]

OK, yes I have the results saved.

I tested exactly as called by others following the testing methods given by BenchZowner/Hipro5 and Elmor/OPB.

*All standard Windows tweak done on all runs (2 or 3 services running max, 13 processes idle, 118MB) but for the first completely untweaked normal Windows run.
*When I tested 512MB-512MB pagefile vs. 384MB-384MB there was absolutely NO difference in 8M-4M-1M runs so I left it to 512-512MB for all tests but first two.

OPB/Elmor's CDT method: (1)
Hipro5's CopyWazza method: (1) (2)

First thing I'd like to mention is that I could not repeat and get 500MB/500MB for memory/cache out of 600MB installed! The maximum mine went up to after CDT was 365MB/363MB. I "think" this depends purely on your hard drive cache (mine was 8MB/2MB).

For CopyWazza, same method; it did NOT raise my system cache/available memory by much at all. This again I think depends on your hard drive cache size.

Lets just say I spent a whole week (before today) trying to beat the CopyWaza time with everything else and it was impossible... until I tried the last technique.

Hope it helps.
