Now that I write that title I am not sure I shouldnt have worded it differently, but given almost no one reads these blogs except me I shall let it remain....
[EDIT -I have now changed the title from performance issues to WHDLOAD issues, as that is what it has turned out to be]
Anyway....
So I have my nicely setup wedge A1200, with its Indy Mk3, Freeway USB and B1230MKIV. My floppy drive is a bit iffy but I will look at that when I have time and I have an external drive here as well.
I do seem to have an issue with this setup however, and I am not sure if this is because I have just been spolit as both my other setups run full 68060s, or what. Now I have run B1230MKIVs in the past, and whilst obviously not an 060 it has been plenty for what I wanted. The workbench seems quite snappy - no issues there. When I run Igame there is a bit of a delay, but this is a combination of it not being an 060 and also the slow read speeds on the main IDE (1.8mbs per sysinfo - my other machines are a bit quicker). But I can live with that. Where the issue is is that after selecting a game in Igame, it says running whatever in the corner, but basically then takes ages before it accesses the hard drive and calls up the WHDLOAD screen. I mean long enough to question if its doing it at all. The same issue occurs without Igame in the mix, so its not that.
I will play around with disabling the network etc next I think, but am open to suggestions.
