The CDT and copywaza lab

[mrlobber]

KTE, you did that again That 5sec difference is all I'm looking for. Will try to replicate your runs as soon as I can... although Asus boards mostly are faster clock-for-clock than Gigabyte (and I wonder, could that make a difference somewhere in CDT as well?)

Just to 100% clarify the things how we are doing those 30% CDT , could you write the CDT copy sequence you are doing step-by-step, including the paths involved, whether any pauses between the copying of the files and literally everything you're doing while applying the information we've got about CDT (well, you might skip the "scratching your head" thing as this probably doesn't impact the results ). Just write it down in Notepad or wherever, like I did for my "CDT *.bat file" here:



(remember, "my CDT way" doesn't give me any improvements over CW).

So the way I did it last time was (written down from my screenshot above).

Situation before the CDT:
Drive C:

• System

Drive F:

• 1896Mb file on drive root (exactly 3x632Mb)
• Superpi folder
• CDT folder (named copywaza in my case, quite confusing, right? ) with 1896Mb file inside

So the "balance" should be there.

CDT:

copy F:\cdt_big.rar C:\
copy F:\cdt_big.rar C:\ (this replaces the file already on C:)
copy F:\cdt_big.rar C:\ (this replaces the file already on C:)

copy F:\cdt_big.rar F:\copywaza (this replaces the file already in F:\copywaza)
copy F:\cdt_big.rar F:\copywaza (this replaces the file already in F:\copywaza)
copy F:\cdt_big.rar F:\copywaza (this replaces the file already in F:\copywaza)

copy C:\cdt_big.rar F:\ (this replaces the file already on F:\)
copy C:\cdt_big.rar F:\ (this replaces the file already on F:\)
copy C:\cdt_big.rar F:\ (this replaces the file already on F:\)

(notice I didn't move any files, if you did, from where and to where did you do it?)

Please do not refer to the descriptions posted earlier because even elmor's guide I've managed to understand in at least 3 different ways and the one I've written seems to "fit" in that description as well

If the code portion were identical for us already then the conclusion would be that our "fresh XP SP2 installs" have some not-so-trivial differences which make or break the CDT tweak... if not, then please compare with yours to see where are the differences and I'll retest again.

Memory/Cache was ~550/553 for Copywaza runs and ~535/550 for CDT runs.

Are you sure you didn't swap these numbers? I mean, 550/553 for CDT and 535/550 for CW...
