Our experience has been that the best way to use the harddisk for compiling is: 1. partitioning it into 4 partitions first. This way creating files takes not too much time. 2. using a ramdisk for every temporary file. This speeds up a lot ! However, the whole slowness of the GEMDOS filesystem handling is a pain in the *** ! Maybe the following would help: Implement a track buffer for reading. Useful for floppies only, I think. But it would help considerably. Do some write-behind if possible. It gets a bit complicated, and I don't know if it would fit into the bios well. !! Beat those bugs out of GEMDOS !! The slowness of file creation is a real bug. As far as I know the file system layout, it should not depend on the filling grade of the partition. When you watch the activity light on the harddisk during file creation you see that there is something realy weird going on. Hans-Martin Mosner (hmm@unido.uucp, hmm@unido.bitnet)
