I'm not sure if this has been posted before but here goes:
Longhorn's most useful feature "leaked "as XP tweak
According to the article,--->Externer Link
http://www.microsoft-watch.com/artic...129TX1K0000535 the Voles in the
Redmond Vole Hill will deliver some astounding features.
Those include the ability to launch apps 15% faster than Windows XP, boot PCs 50% faster, patch systems
with 50% fewer reboots, and let firms migrate to Longhorn 75% per cent faster.
The only reason why its faster is they added a superfetch feature to the prefetcher. If you look at the
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SessionManager\Memory Management\Prefetcher
you will notice in windows xp;
EnablePrefetcher = 3
and you will notice in windows longhorn;
EnableSuperfetch = 1
Well, guess what? You can put the EnableSuperfetch = 1 in windows xp and get the same speed.
Wow, Microsoft just added a feature that was already there in xp.
From what I have been reading the tweak is designed for at least Windows XP SP2.
So maybe someone who has SP2 installed can see if improves anything.
Zitat:
One of the many claims Microsoft makes for Windows Longhorn is that it wil launch applications 15%
faster than Windows XP does currently. This is down to improvements in the Prefetch functionality.
There's no need to wait until Longhorn arrives; this improvement is already in Windows XP thanks to
Service Pack 2. It just needs to be turned on.
To enable super prefetch:
* Use a registry editing tool (run>regedit) to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters
* Insert a value with the following details:
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: EnableSuperfetch
Value: 1
You will need to turn off the EnablePrefetch already in Windows XP
EnablePretech=0
* Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect
.
pleas back up the registry entry first before you do it.
I found this on demonoid.com forums, it seems from the replies it does work. However, I cannot test it as i have win2k.
