I did it again and split out the timings so it times how long to open the file, how long to write the bytes, how long to close the file, and the overall total:
From this I discovered that there is something interesting with ADFS. There seems to be some kind of "cache" where if the next operation occurs within about 5 seconds of the previous one, when the disc has stopped spinning, the opening of the file is much quicker, but then the writing of the data is slower, giving the same overall total. Running again when the disc is still spinning gives the quicker open file time, and the quicker writing bytes time, leading to a quicker overall time. This "cache" doesn't happen in DFS, where all the timings are the same no matter how long has elapsed since the previous operation, but starting with the disc spinning does still reduce the open file time:Statistics: Posted by BeebMaster — Mon Aug 26, 2024 9:59 pm
