Speed Booster

Useless link, can't read the article, always jumps to comments and an ad.

That's you (your browser, device, etc).
I see exactly zero ads. You need an ad blocker or a better browser.

I use a Mac, zero ads. Sadly, the site is flawed in that it favors ads and comments over
content. Such sites are ignored.

That aside, speed boosters are snake oil, nothing more.

Snake oil? Maybe, but I love mine. Biggest seat of the pants mod I have done so far....

Robert, I'm sure that some of the forum users can provide you some tips to make it work better, but I see in your profile that you're probably an expert already.
The article runs very clean with no ads on my desktop, but I have a blocker activated for most of the scripts. I'm not much of an i-Person, just a dumb old PC guy since the 8088s.


So, in summary of the article, what it does is give more gas with less pedal.
Quote:
"The benefit of a sprint booster is that you do not have to push the accelerator pedal as far to achieve the acceleration you desire. You are saving some foot effort."
I suppose if you have sore feet, a heel or ankle ailment, this can be a great benefit. Otherwise, just push the pedal farther-faster yourself to get the same performance benefit.
