The Ghost 11.0.1 interface displays the transfer rate along with the remaining time when creating a backup or restoring.

First the overview of the system:-
Using Dell 640m Inspiron with 80-GB Hitachi SATA Disc. I use the ghost in DOS mode, using the windows 98SE disc and then running the Ghost executable at command prompt.

Now when i create a backup the transfer rate remains around 300 MB per minute when i chose the normal compression. I can assume it takes bit of time to do the compressing. But then i dont chose the max compression option.

When i try to restore this rate hovers around just 200MB per second. Now i have backup amounting to more than 10GB which takes almost 40 minutes to restore. Now this is huge time 

I tried acronis True Image 11 Home edition it restores the backup in flat 20 minutes when using the bootable CD .

Any suggestions to increase the speed of the whole process??

Any clues to increase the speed of the Ghost imaging in v11??
