This manual method worked for me.
There was one difference – at step 11, download and reinstall ExpressCache again, when I first booted a window popped up that said something like “Express Cache did not uninstall completely”. And when I ran the setup progam to re-install it, the program instead asked me if I wanted to UN-install it – so I said yes, let that uninstal finish, rebooted again, and ran the setup program again – and this time it offered to install the program, which I did.
I also installed the app – for the first couple boots I was worried, as the cache seemed stuck at 0.07GB, but a couple more boots and it started filling up at a good clip with a good percentage of reads coming from the cache.
Thanks Slotmonter and Conducive programmers!
