OK i ran a small test on all my machines
My machine E8400, P45 board, 2GB OCZ Reaper 1150mhz
My daughters machine E2180, X975 board, 2GB Patriot 800mhz
Spare machine E6600, P35 board, 2GB Crucial Ballistix 1066mhz
I used a compressed file of 735mb and moved it from a flash drive onto the desktop of each machine and used WinRAR to extract the file.
On my E8400 pc it took 7 seconds to extract
On the E2180 pc it took 11 to 15 seconds to extract
On the E6600 pc it took 8 seconds to extract
The problem is: the longer the machines are on or after a reboot the speed of the extraction seems to degrade until the E8400 pc takes 35 seconds to extract and the other 2 machines are similar, however, if i delete the files and then drag the original 735mb compressed file back onto the desktop, the extraction speed goes back to 7 seconds, 11 secs, and 8 secs respectively. Extracting and deleting the file repeatedly results in gradual degrading of speed on all 3 machines, how can this be? Can anyone explain why this happens ?
