Speed issue and CF Sandisk Card

I've posted earlier about the ongoing speed debate - thanks to everone who replied by the way.

One thing I have notices is there is a definate connection between the speed on the Axim and pulling information from Compact Flash.

I have a 256 Sandisk CF, with a couple of games loaded such as Pacman (very simple program wise) but when I open the games folder, it can take up to 10 seconds to read the files and thus display the icons.

This has the effect of grinding the whole system to a standstill, even exiting the program.

Ive also noticed that even with just one other program then pacman really slows down when playing and gitters every couple of seconds or so.

I coppied across a small movie clip to the Axim interal memory and run - All seemed OK, but when I put the same clip on the CF card it jittered during playback. - the clip was optimised using MS Movie maker 2 for Pocket PC........

Looks to me like theres a comms issue too between peripherals such as CF.

just IMHO though.

Anyone agree then feel free to comment :D
