But from Eugene comments, it appears that there have been no such real performance degradations. Admittedly, if the performance was down by only a couple percentage points per revision, then over time after 5 revisions it may be noticeable for those of us who make big jumps in versions. So *somewhere* there was a break in the performance that should have been noticed. If 8.3 was comparably fast as 8.2, and GSS 1.1 was comparble to 8.3, and GSS 2.0 was comparable to GSS 1.1 and GSS 2.5 was comparable to GSS 2.0.etcetcetc. While I don't expect testing vs 4+ versions back or anything, I would expect the chain to remain valid. If such a fix is done, maybe even a LiveUpdate rather than a new version would get you back the performance. While I doubt there's anything us end-users would be able to do to fix this, perhaps in the next revision of Ghost, the programmers could look into what changed in the underlying libraries, and see if there's some choke-point that can be removed. This would isolate the problem down to the binary and the underlying disk/file library routines used in Ghost 11.x. Basically, the only thing that should differ is the ghost.exe and nothing else. Make sure you boot 8.2 the same as 11.x (ie: don't floppy boot one and virtual-partition boot the other) and the source image Ghost file is in the same location, and ideally the same network drivers (if using the network to access your image) and same machine. Then restore that same image using Ghost 11.x, and this should be "slow". Then restore that image using 8.2, and this should be "fast". If either people still having this problem is still reading this thread, then given what Eugene just posted, I'd say yah. We have improved caching in 11.0 and perhaps this extra caching may affect older machines? You can always try running without cache and compare: -ws -wa etc. It is possible that some things may be slower (I dont expect 2-3 times), like for instance cloning FAT16 filesystem, which not many people care about. What filesystem are you cloning and what preOS are you comparing against - NTFS/FAT32/FAT16, DOS/Winpe/Linux etc? Are these old or new machines? As I said we do performance tests but generally from version to version and not from latest version to all previous versions.
GHOST 11 DOWNLOAD ARCHIVE
Instead of being proprietary it is pure zip archive that you can simply open and add more files as you please and then modify manifest file to reflect your changes.

One-click VP is similar to Power Quest feature but is much more powerful.

Can you please post your question as a separate post on this forum because it has absolutely no relevance to the topic discussed here.
