I had been monitoring my RAM usage for months and I couldn't get my free RAM to be better than 4MB, after this tweak it rocketed to 18MB, (later I got it to 23 but never better). I reduced the maximum vcache size to 6MB and forever after I sang a song of unrequited joy. I had a laptop with 32MB RAM, and the swapfile was forever being pummelled due to lack of RAM. Yet in my experience on systems with little RAM (<128) this is not really true.
The problem is that Windows allocates all (almost all) available RAM to the vcache and supposedly frees up RAM as and when applications need it. This is all good and helps programs stay nice and zippy. Tweak your VCacheĪll files that get opened are loaded into RAM before they are read, and since RAM is incredibly faster than hard-disk Windows keeps the files avaliable in RAM until you run out of RAM.

If I had my way everything would come in a zip unless it absolutely had to modify your Windows directory, and then it will tell you what it was about to do!Īnyway, if you know what software you have and aren't nervous about the whole thing then I suggest you reinstall, if it's been a while you'll likely be most impressed by the results! For help I have a reinstall tutorial.
Not much software installs "cleanly", as in without interfering with how the operating system runs. This happens even more rapidly if you mix an Internet connection and general curiosity. Windows has a tendency to get "clogged." I don't understand it, but it's true.
