Large System Cache and DisablePagingExecutive - BP13 - 24.03.2010
Here and there people say that its worse or better. These things that you change to 1 in the registry will make your computer and some games faster. Some say it does some say it does not. What do you say?
Located In:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

DisablePagingExecutive does not disable paging as many people believe. It actually has no effect on the pagefile usage at all. This setting effects only "ntoskrnl.exe", nothing more. Because of it's importance XP will try to keep it in memory whenever possible. Only in the case of heavy memory load will it be paged out. If you have sufficient memory this will rarely occur. If memory is not adequate you will be restricting Windows options to deal with the problem.
To sum it up, it 'could' improve performance, but will result in problems.

Thank you. But what about LargeSystemCache? (Btw I have 2GB of RAM)

The LargeSystemCache registry entry forces windows to allocate up to all but 4MB of system memory, that is system memory, not available RAM, to the file system cache. The remaining system memory is used for disk caching, though windows will allocate more memory if it is needed. In rough terms, system memory is where windows holds programs and data that are currently in use. This allows applications and files to be cached in RAM rather than stored on disk.
In short, it will only increase it by 4 megs, and most likely cause problems.
