That is an exact repeat of my experience... as for anarkey, I registered
it but do not use it any more... :-(

Boot time delay is totally unacceptable, esp with a program like
hyperdisk, to evaluate it one must compare it with other cache
programs, most require rebooting. This makes the evaluation painful,
so, heck with it. I went back to using pc-cache from my PC-Tools 6.0 oh
well.
