The graphs below represent a performance comparison
between a 6300 Performa with a 512K Disk Cache setting and
the same machine with Speed Doubler installed. 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. It appears that Speed Doubler
overall gives a modest boost to performance however in accessing
and writing small packets of data ( up to 1K) from the hard
drive it has a dramatic effect. Speed Doubler also greatly
increases performance in emulation mode. Longer bars equals
faster performance.

Random Write Test
Emulation Test
Graph below shows the performance increase in
Emulation Mode when using Speed Doubler. Testing was done
with Speedometer 4.0 on a Performa 6300. First results (601/Emulation)
are standard test settings (601 is a typo and does not refer
to the processor) and second set of results are with Speed
Doubler.
RamDoubler
+ SpeedDoubler - performance when using RamDoubler and
SpeedDoubler together. Also performance comparison between
using RamDoubler and SpeedDoubler or using Virtual Memory
and SpeedDouber.
SpeedDoubler
and Disk Cache - performance at various Disk Cache settings.
Disk Cache setting greatly effects SpeedDoubler performance
