Ways To Speed Up Windows XP - Improve Swapfile Performance
By:

If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file.

* Go to Start then Run
* Type “msconfig.exe” then ok
* Click on the System.ini tab
* Expand the 386enh tab by clicking on the plus sign
* Click on new then in the blank box type "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1"
* Click OK
* Restart PC

DOES NOTHING IN XP In all NT platform operating systems the system.ini file is maintained for compatibility with old 16 bit applications only. Settings such as this will be ignored. Even in Windows 98 the setting did not work as described. Page file usage was not prevented while there was still free RAM, it was only used less. Larry Miller Microsoft MCSA
