Two points:
1. There’s no real way to measure, but you should be able to judge its
effect by your personal observations.
2. Your question leads me to believe that you have observed no
improvement in performance. That’s no surprise to me, since as far as
I’m concerned, ReadyBoost is of benefit only for systems with very
little RAM. With 2GB of RAM there is normally little to no impact of
using ReadyBoost. I also wouldn’t recommend ReadyBoost for those with
little RAM, since the money would be better spent by buying more RAM.
