I do wonder, how hard would it be to skip the memory testing without skipping the cache testing ?

I don't think I understand what you mean. With SST478, as included in Phil's dosbench, if you press "space" while the extended memory is being tested, the "memory test" is skipped, but the throughput benchmarks, which shows the effect of the cache is still performed. Isn't that what you are asking for?

I guess I have had occasions where both tests get skipped when I have done that so I have been waiting for the extended memory test to finish, which can take some time when there's a lot of RAM...
