I am doing benchmarking of several algorithms involving read/write to disk.

As Windows provides some cache features, sometimes I get results like these :

  • first run of the algorithm : 200 seconds
  • second run of the algorithm : 90 seconds
  • third run of the algorithm : 87 seconds

After a reboot :

  • first run of the algorithm : 202 seconds again

It is rather simple to disable write cache (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259716), but how to totally disable disk read cache?
