Guide: How to make OS3.x faster and more efficient. (Updated)

[Amigaz]

hmm..running most of this stuff but never tried SystemPatch on an RTG Amiga..gonna try tonite  :-D


SmartWB sounds like one of the patches MCP has or am I mistaken

Anyway, this guide has the best speedup tips IMHO
 ;-)

Ok, tried Systempatch on my A4000 (040 40mhz, CV64/3D) didn't notice any difference but SmartWB was noticeable :-) but not much...didn't know SmartWB was such an old patch

Nice! :-)
 You can probably find more recent smart refresh patches on Aminet. They are all the same, more all less. I just use this one.

Yeah..this one seem to work nice  :-) only thing that bothers me is it's splash screen when it starts

Just started using MemOptimizer too...can you please tell me what parameters you are running it with?

 No splash screen: SmartWB quiet

 The author provides a good command line in the docs:
Run >NIL: MemOptimizer 15 4096 1048576 20 NOCHIP NOFLUSH
 I would remove the NOCHIP option because even if you are using a gfx-card, your Chip-ram still gets accessed for some tasks.

You mean "SmartWB quiet" in it's tooltype?

Using the parameter from the docs too  :-)

Yeah, you're right about the chipram option

Have been running some of the patches AmigaMance mention for years without problems

Now I tested some I haven't tested yet he mentions in his posts and they seem to do good....

I am using FBlit and it seems to reduce chip RAM especially when loading large directories!  BUT I am having an issue that is making it hard to live with.  I get graphics corruptions on the screen.  Anyone know how to get rid of this?  This is a must have app for AGA users but the garbage on the screen is very annoying...

Tried LoadWB SIMPLEGELS?

Only problem I've had with WBallocFast is it refusing to work under DOpus.  I think this is a fault with DOpus though.  

And with the new AfA Iconlib here
