Even if you prefer overclocking, Softick Cache will be good for you because it increases overallperformance by optimizing file and database access routines, which are not affected directly byoverclocking utilities. In other words, despite of any installed boosters and overclockers,Softick Cache will always add more speed to your handheld.How does it work?You probably know that all modern Palm devices can access expansion cards, or have built-in flashdisks. In most cases, built-in flash disks also used by Palm operating system to store and accessprograms and databases which were formely stored in dynamic memory. This solution brings moresafety and leads to less power consumption, but also it is slower. Many Palm users noticed increasedresponse time of the most applications on the newer models, this effect appeared exactly because ofslower storage memory access.At the same time, availability of high-capacity SD cards made them more popular for keeping personaldata, applications, games, music and video. It is clear that increased card data transfers madelack of transfer speeds more evident.After number of investigations, Softick team developed an intelligent solution which utilizes fasterdynamic memory to remember most frequently used data, accessed by the system and applications.As indicated by our investigations, there are many duplicated and non-aligned requests to the Palmflash memory and expansion cards, so it was definitely reasonable to implement required readand write optimizations.First our tests executed on the preliminary versions proved right approach and effectiveness ofsuch solution. Now you can download Softick Cache by yourself and estimate performance growth byanalyzing cache statistics.
