Re: FSX/readyboost drive/performance

It is not actually the raw drivespeed that shoud give an advantage, but
the very low access times. Where the best harddrives get around 9ms, usb
sticks and other flash based apparatus can nowadays easily go below 1ms
access time.

If readyboost puts a lot of small files in the aggregrated
Readyboost.sf cache file on the stick, it can actually read them quite a
bit faster than a harddrive can, because it totally eliminates all
header seek and access moments (which can be a lot if qou combine it,
9ms is an utopia when you consider this)
