I'm slightly confused. As I understand it the small file write speed even on supposedly fast SD cards can be very slow. This certainly seems to be the case on the Pi. It first became really apparent after a particularly long winded !PackMan installation. A large number of small files is a problem. External drives are better but are only USB1. !Cache on a RamDisc looks much more promising. This is much better, the improvement is clear, and the machine is not taken over as the cache is written. -- David Pitt
