Quick overview:
In meinem Tip Speicheroptimierung in der System.ini beschreibe ich ganz unten die Größenänderung des Systemcaches um Windows zu beschleungen. So können mehr Dateien, die benötigt werden in den Arbeitsspeicher geladen werden um eine höhere Geschwindigkeit darauf zu erhalten.
This so-called system cache is divided into blocks. The standard size of these blocks is 128KByte. Programs use several memory blocks as soon as their size exceeds this, which means that some memory blocks are not used. This defragments the working memory and results in poor access times, which greatly reduces the benefits of the system cache. To prevent this, it is possible to increase the size of these blocks. This also increases the access time, as Windows can access a few large blocks more quickly than a large number of smaller blocks. And this is how you proceed:
1. Click on Start/Execute and enter system.ini.
2. Now scroll down in the document that appears until the line [vcache] becomes visible. You may now see the entry that you have made in this tip.
3. Create a new line just below and write Chunksize=1024 in it.
Instead of the number 1024, the following memory sizes are also possible: 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048. As described above, a larger value is recommended for higher speed. Unfortunately, parts of these large blocks often remain unused or are only partially filled. Although this has no effect as with completely empty small blocks, this setting unfortunately consumes more memory and is only recommended for 128MB RAM or more.
For systems with less than 128 megabytes of RAM, the size 512 is recommended. For computers equipped with 128 or more RAM, the setting 2048 has proven to be perfect.
