Well after all this straightening everything out and doing several runs, with waza apparently working well, I'm slower than I was on the slow run I posted a screenshot of with no waza earlier.

I was only 2 seconds off my goal yesterday, now I'm 3. Getting a little tight now.pullhair

At this point I have no choice but to do a new fresh install on a different HD and compare the results. I don't know what the HD really has to do with my spi32m score though, but I'll find out soon if it's any different on a seagate barracuda than it is on my ssd.

EDIT: also I now see that you showed the PF size for the waza partition in the tutorial, I just wasn't watching close enough before.

You can try running FLP. :) Easy efficiency. Do a full install, run in diagnostic mode with themes enabled. (and the usual LSC, Maxmem and Pagefile tweaks).

It just makes me crazy that I have done so many things to "improve my spi score" and try to reproduce that 7min14.890seconds and I haven't really gained anything.

Best I got so far is 7min16.250seconds which isn't that bad if it wasn't 1.5 seconds off that freak run I had.:blink:

I have FLP on disk here, may as well give it a shot too. Thanks for the suggestion bro.

sorry for hijacking...but what is LSC?


am still learning so bear with me:)

large system cache :) in xp its under system-performance-advanced

aye aye skipper..........
btw......which version of xp works best for spi32m?

TinyXP rev09 is about as good as it gets.....aside from server2003 in Chinese, as far as I know.
