In this article I want to share secrets, increase the productivity of such a monster otedaniyu precious FPS, as Lockon. Having said all the main points. Regarding the problems with long load, there are a few questions:
1) Well, of course, companies need configuration, up to how much hard in the car, and which of them should LOT (further explain why);
2) graphics settings in LB;
3) it is desirable to talk about software that is installed and running at startup LOT (antivirus, firewall, maybe the system utilities, watching for something, for example, the program will calculate the calories)
Now explain why you need such a detailed report. Iron - no comments, I think, and so clear. Regarding hard: windose, as the enemy of all thinking, creates a kind of swap file, which is, in essence, a virtual extension of the computer's memory, but that he uses for some reason I always irrationally. So, it is desirable that, to swap and Lock were on different hard disks (physical, not logical), because, in the case of finding one, carries a lot of hard work in reading / writing files LO and working simultaneously with the swap ...
Another option, how to correctly prompted Vladimir, is a strong fragmentation of files on the disk (ie strong, for a sort of srednyachok on fragmentation, gives the performance drop when reading only the fragmented files by 10-20 per cent). Moreover, it is desirable to defragment the drive is not built into windose utility (the same thing with an ax to try выстругать toothpick), and special programs, of which there are many (sometimes I use Diskeeper).
Then again, the fragmentation, but the notorious swap. If it is highly fragmented (as it usually happens), it is really too bad, because vinda working with him always. Built-in utility can not defragment it, you want to use again special prog (all the same Deskeeper - he even has a separate item "defrag the paging file).
As for software, which runs at startup LOT. The same scanner may wedges downloadable files LO, causing an increase in load time. Generally, it is desirable to make a screenshot of Task Manager on the tab "processes" before starting LOT - it will be possible to make any conclusions.
Settings of the LO - I think everything is clear.
About the System Configuration nakropayu materialchik popzzhe. About me:
P-3 866 / 512 PC133 / FX5700 128 if briefly, and with such a gland offline get 15-25 fps, online 5-15, screen resolution 1280H1024H32
Let's start with a simple:
1) Disable System Restore
In Windows XP includes several services, which occupy too much space, for example: Sitsema recovery. To disable this function, you must do the following: right-click on the icon "My Computer" and choose properties. Select item and disable System Restore System Restore.
Not quite the accelerating system, but nonetheless, suddenly someone in handy:
2) Removal of MSN Messenger
Find the file SYSOC.INF in the directory \ Windows \ INF (folder and file are hidden). Open it in notepad and find the line: msmsgs = msgrocm.dll, OcEntry, msmsgs.inf, hide, 7
Delete the word 'hide' from the string and save the file. Now go to the menu "Add or Remove Programs, you will see a list of MSN Messenger. Now you can easily remove it.
Now a bit more complicated:
3) Increase NTFS performance
Windows XP allows you to use NTFS - improved file system that provides a sufficient level of performance and security, as well as providing additional features not available in any version of the file system FAT.
Find out whether there is a system of partitions with NTFS, you can by opening "My Computer" and walking on a logical partition of your hard disk to see what type of file system associated with each of them - click "Details" in the left pane.
However, when working with NTFS may be a slight decrease in performance. This is due to the fact that when you open any folder and file system updates the labels of the last access to sites that in large quantities can lead to a decrease in access speed.
In addition, for compatibility with older applications Windows XP creates a topic in NTFS special table containing all the names of files and folders (this drive), presented in the format MS-DOS (8 characters in the name and 3 characters for the file extension). Currently, such specificity NTFS is not urgent, so it is desirable to disable this feature to increase performance.
Now let's move directly to the description of the process of blocking these unnecessary for most users instruments NTFS: 1. Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the branch [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ FileSystem];
3. In the Edit menu, select "New" - "Parameter DWORD";
4. Enter the name of "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate", then press [Enter];
5. Repeat p.3;
6. Enter the name of "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation", then press [Enter];
7. List the value of "1" in each of the generated keys. Click OK;
8. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the system.
4) work faster Windows XP interface
In that case, if you have not much memory, for a more comfortable work may need to turn off the function of visual effects (eg, smooth deployment of the menu), which will surely slow down the system. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Right-click on My Computer icon, the pop-up menu, select "Properties" and then in the dialog box "System Properties", clicking on the Advanced tab, click "Options" from the field of Performance. "
2. In the "Performance Options" tab "Visual effects" can turn off each of them individually or all at once, noting the item "Adjust for best performance."
3. Click OK
4. Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
5. Open a branch [HKEY_CURRENT_ USER \ SYSTEM \ Control Panel \ Desktop].
6. In the right pane of Registry Editor, select the key MenuShowDelay. Its default value is 400 - the time delay in milliseconds, after which there are drop-down menu.
7. Double-clicking on this key, enter the value "0" to eliminate delays. If you specify a value "1", it will be blocked by the animation effect when minimized / decompressing window. Click OK.
8. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the system.
To achieve speed up applications, as well as to release some memory can disconnect the debugger Dr.Watson - a special program that allows you to diagnose errors. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open a branch [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ AeDebug];
3. In the right pane of Registry Editor, double-click on Auto Key and enter the value "0". Click OK;
4. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the system.
5) work faster memory Windows XP
The roster has several keys, which are modifying, you can speed up memory Windows. Of course, change the settings should be with great caution, as incorrectly entered values can lead to a complete system inoperable. It should be noted that the methodology described below will lead to the desired effect only if you have a fairly large amount of RAM. 1. Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
2. Open a branch [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management]. There are several keys, changed the values that can help us.
3. Key DisablePagingExecutive. When this option is the system kernel and drivers are not written to the paging file on Windows (so-called swap file, which is a reserved space on the hard disk that serves a temporary repository of information from memory to free the latter), and will remain in memory. Thus, the system and applications will be quicker to respond to user actions as input / output data from the memory are performed with greater speed compared with the exchange of data on your hard disk. To enable this setting, assign that key to "1" to turn it off - the value "0".
4. Key LargeSystemCache. Activation of this key, like the previous one, forcing Windows to use memory to store the kernel (and thus speeds up access to it). To enable this setting, assign that key to "1" to turn it off - the value "0".
5. Key IOPageLockLimit. Setting this option will accelerate the execution of input / output operations for a large number of transmitted files. The optimum value is selected experimentally. The figures, from which you can come, roughly the following: if you have 32 MB of RAM, the option must be equal to about 4 MB with 64 MB - 8 MB, 128 MB - 16 MB, 256 MB or more - 64 MB. Determine the new value should be in bytes. Therefore, if, for example, you want to set a new value to 16 MB, multiply by 16 twice in 1024.
6. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the system.
6) Reduce the size of Windows XP installed
If you have a need to free space on your hard disk, you can reduce the amount already installed and configured Windows XP removal or changing of any components that are not essential to the user.
First, you can delete the folder "% SystemRoot% \ DriverCache \ i386 \", where "% SystemRoot%" is the way the system directory Windows. Actually, this address is a set of necessary drivers, but if the system is already installed in the near future is not expected to change the computer's hardware, you can safely delete this folder. Later, if you need to update your computer hardware, system just need to insert the CD-ROM with installation copy of Windows.
Secondly, there is a so-called cache protected system files. This is a special folder that holds the original copies of important operating system files. If any of the components of Windows is damaged, then there is its automatic recovery from the cache. The size of this folder by default is about 400 MB. You can change the size of the cache with the command "sfc" (entered in the command line) with the parameter "/ cachesize", and to determine its volume. Then you must manually delete this directory, and if you do not specify "/ cachesize" zero ( "sfc / cachesize = 0), then at the next check-protected Windows system files re-fill its cache to the default volume.
7) Unloading Startup
In addition to start system services, in the beginning of the Windows start and conventional programs that are installed in the system. To remove unnecessary startup programs, run msconfig, as a result you get the window "System Configuration". Go in it to the tab "Startup" and uncheck unwanted applications.
8) Error handling
The ratio of developers to the Windows XP arising from the use of error extremely careful: when an error is detected the system seeks to immediately send a report to Microsoft. To get rid of this phenomenon, run snap-in System Properties -> Advanced -> Error Reporting. This should activate the item "Disable error reporting", while leaving "But the notification of critical errors." Now the information about all sorts of errors will occur much less frequently. Continuing a theme, we can not talk about the system failure. Customize actions that are produced in this case, you are here: System Properties -> Advanced, under Startup and Recovery "should click" Options ". In the window that appears to hold a series of outages. In the section "System Failure" remove the checkmark from the "Run Automatically restart". This will save yourself from unexpected reboots Windows. Under "Write debugging information" better "off the record dump no longer needed. The fact that the dump - it is a copy of the program code, in memory during the crash, to understand the dump afford only a specialist, and, except in special cases to address this time-consuming, no one will.
9) Significant interest
The default settings in Windows XP is such that when working in a network system reserves 20% of traffic for transmission of critical data. If in the case of a local network, this measure can be somehow justified, then when you connect to the Internet - is unlikely. With our speed access to the World Wide Web to spend 20% of the bandwidth - unaffordable luxury. Therefore, on the reservation should be abandoned.
This limitation is set by using Group Policy. A reservation is engaged directly by the "Package Manager QoS». By simply unplugging the QoS, we will achieve nothing, because in this case, the system will still use the value, the default is 20%. The only way to solve this problem - manually change the group policy. First you need to run gpedit.msc. Then in the window "Group Policy" section, choose "Computer Configuration" and follow the path of "Administrative Templates -> Network -> Package Manager QoS». Here, in the right window should double click on the item "Limit the reserved bandwidth. In the resulting Properties window should have the "Enabled" and specify a value limit of the channel - 0%. Then in the properties of all network connections on the tab "Network" will need to install the protocol "Packet Scheduler QoS».
10) Allocation of processor time.
In the "System Properties" on the Advanced tab, under Performance, you can control the distribution of CPU time and memory usage (including virtual). If your computer is not the server, then the processor and memory is recommended to focus on the optimization of programs. If the computer - the server, you need to specify the priority of background services and cache. As for the swap file, then it is recommended to have any logical drive, in addition, where there is a folder with most Windows.
11) Disconnecting POSIX.
Turning it off is not used by the engine may slightly increase speed. In order not to bother with deleting files and shut-off for this purpose, the file protection in Windows XP, open the Registry Editor, the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Contro l SessionManager \ SubSystems and delete rows and Optional Posix.
12) Disconnecting cache DLL.
Using the Registry Editor, in the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Curr ent Version \ Explorer create a new DWORD value AlwaysUnloadDLL, and set its value to "1".
13) off the record documents in history.
Usually when you open any document it is immediately added to the list, which is located in the Start -> My Documents. In order to disable it using the registry editor, look for the branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) \ Software \ Mic rosoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Policies \ and create a key (if it has not yet established) NoRecentDocsHistory, set the value to "1".
14) Location swap file.
If the system has two hard drives, you can improve performance by placing the paging file on that hard drive that the operating system is not used. To do this, open the Properties, go to the Advanced tab and click the Settings button in the Performance pane. Then click the Advanced tab in a new window, click Edit next to Virtual Memory, select the drive's second drive.
Continuing. This paper describes the setup and optimization of Microsoft Windows in the most basic version of XP, as well as some techniques useful for owners of Windows 2000 and 9x/NT (if anyone still stands). Will describe a modification of the registry files, system.ini, msdos.sys, config.sys, autoexec.bat (What are there in the system), as well as work with the paging file optimization of the file system and setting the standard means of Windows.
Paging File
Let's start with the paging file. The paging file or swap-file - area on the hard disk that the system uses as virtual memory. Often, many users trust the system definition and operation of the swap, trust the recommendations of Microsoft, and as a result of receiving the slow speed and fragmentation of its hard drive. By default, Windows sets the current level of the paging file equal to the size of physical memory, as recommended by the volume makes a half times greater. Of course if you have 256 megabytes of ordinary and undistinguished memory, the file size will be quite justified - about 384 megabytes. But if more memory, for example 512 megabytes, it turns out, the paging file is 768 megabytes? Proceeding from these considerations and the size of my hard drive, I would spit on their recommendations. In the installation "right" swap - the file will help us monitor the system.

sure to specify the swap file permanent
To get started, see the My Computer-Properties-Advanced-Performance-Advanced-Virtual Memory, set the maximum size of the field in some value (for example, 128Mb or 256Mb - 400 megabytes, for 512Mb - 200 megabytes), ask and then restarting. In Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools, and proceed to click Performance. Disclose the item "Performance Logs and Alerts, right-click on" Counter Logs "menu and select" New Log Settings.

Assign a parameter of any name (for example, swap_log). In the window that appears, click "Add Counters" in the dropdown box "Object" select paging file. Under "Select counters from list, select the% of use (peak), then click" Add. "

At the site you should select the "swap file"
We return to the previous menu, go to "Log Files" and in the list "type of log file, select Text File (separator - comma). When you click OK on the issue, create a directory C: \ PerfLogs, answer yes.
Now a few days chasing our poor personalku. Stop and 2-3 days, the main computer to download the full program and try to restart several times (but not every five minutes). It deems that enough, open the file named something like swap_log_000001.CSV, which is in papkeS: \ PerfLogs \. In a long column, consisting of multiple lines, type "12/25/2003 13:04:51.259," 39.5953124999999999, "at the end of each line will be some mysterious number (italics). That number - the percentage used by the system paging file size (peak values ).

actually used paging file size
By the way be sure to specify a constant amount of the swap, ie, in the fields of conventional and maximum values should be the maximum value. If you follow the recommendations of Microsoft and install it dynamic, it will be defragmenting the hard drive. Even if the system urgently need extra space (on the driver level), she takes it without your guidance, although this happens rarely. And do not forget to move swap - file to the beginning of the local drive where you installed the OS - this is in contrast to the built-in Windows can do today to defragment your hard disk.
And the final touch. While Windows is running numerous services, but not all of them useful for the normal operation of your computer.
The attached file, a detailed description of the services in Windows: a list with the description of each service, as well as recommendations for setting up, including some of the most suitable for a particular purpose configurations (games, Internet surfing, maximum productivity, maximum economy of resources)
