[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurr
entVersionExplorerAlwaysUnloadDLL]
"(Default)"="1"
Anytime a process is ended this will force windows to try and unload
any DLL files associated with the now closed application. This can and
probably will have a negative affect on performance if you reopen
applications not too long after closing them. If you have buttloads of
RAM, don't do this one! It Free's up used RAM that most of us really
do want.
Clearing PageFile on Shutdown
This one actually HURTS performance since it slows down your shutdown
process since it has to delete your entire pagefile which in my case
is over 1Gb! They say that it speeds your boot time up, which it
may...
Disable Paging Executive
DisablePagingExecutive registry key is set to 1 which means Drivers
and the kernel must remain in physical memory. The default is 0 which
allows this data to be cached to disk sometimes. Forcing all of this
information to stay in your RAM is a good idea, but can be bad for the
people with 128Mb of RAM.
The best source of information I have found on this can be found here.
Faster Shutdown
Wait to kills both apps and services both have been lowered to 2 1000.
This one really will help you shutdown noticeably faster most of the
time.
FIle Allocation Size
ConfigFileAllocSize was set to 512
This one proves that the writer of this application reads my guides
Unfortunately he included a tweak I had misspelled the f was supposed
to be a t.... It is Contiguous File allocation size Unfortunately a
user by the name of axmax proved me wrong on this tweak. It's ONLY a
win9x tweak MS doc for 9x. I cannot find anything about this for NT
bases OS's nor is there a default value for this key. I'm VERY sorry
about this one everybody, it's my fault that a bad tweak was included
in this app.
Optimize Prefetch
This changes the EnablePrefetcher key to a value of 3 which caches
both boot process and applications. On systems with low amounts of RAM
you will NOT want to use this tweak.
Increase NTFS Performance
NTFSDisableLastAccessUpdate is a very nice tweak to do. They could
have included NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation but I believe they decided
to leave this one out since it has caused some issues with some
software.
