RE: Softick Cache
Same here. Using it on my Treo 650 with a 2 GB card. It also stalled my Treo twice, so I deleted it.

RE: Softick Cache
damn, I was hoping it was true.
Sounded too good to be true.
I will try the demo myself tomorrow. Maybe you guys didnt set it up right?
RE: Softick Cache
When it comes to caching software, the usage pattern can make a big difference in what performance changes are observed. Examples:
* Load an applications -> No change*.
* Load a small application, exit and then load the application again -> First load no change*, second load may be faster (unless the cache implements a flush on exit).
* Run an application that reads a large data file from disk rapidly sequentially -> No change*.
* Run an application that reads a large data file in small chunks, sequentially, with some processing in between -> Some improvement, if the cache implements look-ahead caching.
* Run an application that randomly reads from a large data file -> some improvement depending on how much the application re-accesses different parts of the data file. If the application rarely re-accesses the same part of the data file, then no change*. If the application re-accesses the same part quite often, then a greater improvement.

*No change: Depending on how much load the caching software adds to a system, it is actually possible for the no-change cases above to be reduced performance.
