Storage management (file cache and optimization)

Enlarge file cache, what's the point?

Windows XP can still be made faster, tuned.
The file cache can also be enlarged.
The following steps are necessary:

Open registry ...
Start >> Run >> regedit + OK

Now look for the following key ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/
CurrentControlSet/Control/
SessionManager/MemoryManagement
(Important: The three lines above are wrapped for mobile display purposes. This must be read as a single continuous line)

and change the values, which are both available as REG_DWORD.

DisablePagingExecutive
and...
LargeSystemCache

... from 0 to 1 (right click >> Change >> 1 + OK)

This creates a bigger file cache and no parts of the kernel are swapped out on the hard drive.

LargeSystemCache:

...here there are different Einstellungen.

0 = Priority of Program
1 = Priority of the system cache

... these values ​​can also be accessed via the system properties >> Advanced >> System performance >> Settings >> Advanced >> in the Memory usage be changed.
The point System cache mark, this also sets the value in the registry 1, if Program is marked, it is set to 0.

The value is also immediately written to the registry, but only processed when the system is restarted.

Even so, the priorities are fairly evenly distributed.

Only the following values ​​achieve ...

2 = really high priority of the system cache
3 = really high priority of the programs

... whereby these can only be set directly in the registry. Everyone should try this out for themselves.

In order for these settings to be used, the value under ...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/
CurrentControl/SetServices/
lanmanserver/parameters
(Important: The three lines above are wrapped for mobile display purposes. This must be read as a single continuous line)

 

... the value REG_DWORD "Size" on 3 be set.

 

Finally, something about the background services section.

These are changed if in the following places in the registry ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/
CURRENTCONTROLSET/CONTROL/
PRIORITY CONTROL]
(Important: The three lines above are wrapped for mobile display purposes. This must be read as a single continuous line)

Here the value REG_DWORD "Win32PrioritySeparation"

...be entered as hex on 26 and then sets the priority to programs.

... entered as Hex on 18, sets the priority to the background services.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/
CONTROLSET001/CONTROL/
PRIORITY CONTROL]

"Win32PrioritySeparation"
(Important: The first three lines above are wrapped for mobile display purposes. This must be read as a single continuous line)

... also use the same values ​​here.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/
CONTROLSET002/CONTROL/
PRIORITY CONTROL]
"Win32PrioritySeparation"
(Important: The first three lines above are wrapped for mobile display purposes. This must be read as a single continuous line)

Each time the values ​​are changed, this value remains the same as entry 2.
