sukamusiru Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 this was brought up a few weeks ago, it defrags the boot sector and does a few other things like clean out the page file.. or something.. could be useful for use after gaming if when you quit the game you experience some temporary lag in using the system..

adzee Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 This doesn't help any and really can't be called lighting fast boot times. Actually this does help. It is quite a useful tip if you know what it does. I agree that it prolly shouldn't be called lightning fast boot times, but the difference is notable. Check out this post for a nice little installation proceedure that adds an icon to your Start menu https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=232067 :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naap51stang Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I notice more responce out of my computer by using toms hardwares Task Assign program. I set the affinity of the bulk of the crap that runs in the background on "CPU1" and the browser and other things I normally run I let run on "CPU 0". Obviously you have to have an HT processor for this to work ;) :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 So what essentially is this tweak doing? Invoking the process idle tasks, does this mean XP keeps a list of tasks for when the PC's idle it processes it? And i pressume overtime this task list accumulates and everytime your comps idle it processes a bit of it until it's all done, but this tweak looks like it's forcing all idle processes to be completed.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted November 1, 2004 Global Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2004 all depends how much ram you have really. the less the slower a bootup will be. the more, the faster... this is just something people MAY notice when too many things are on startup...
