The graphs below show the performance boost
on a Performa 6300 when using RamDoubler and SpeedDoubler
together. A 512K Disk Cache was set for testing. Testing was
done using MacBench 3.0. MacBench profiles
popular software programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Word 6.0
and QuarkXpress among a variety of others and applies these
profiles to the various subsystems being tested. See this
description
of what MacBench tests and how. Longer bars equals faster
performance.
Disk Mix Comparisons
The graph below represents a performance comparison
between using RamDoubler and SpeedDoubler and using Virtual
Memory and SpeedDoubler. On this machine with 16MB of RAM
RamDoubler will give you a total of 32MB. Virtual Memory for
this test was set to 34MB giving a total of 50MB of usable
RAM space. Tests show only a very slight slow down in speed
when using Virtual Memory. Virtual Memory takes up the equivalent
amout of disk space as toal memory (ie 16MB + 34MB in this
case) and this space is not available for other purposes.
