How to optimize the management of memory, improve the efficiency of memory usage, and increase the running speed as much as possible is our concern. The following describes several ways to improve memory usage efficiency and optimize memory management in the Windows operating system.
1, change the location of the page file
its main purpose is to maintain the continuity of virtual memory. Because the hard disk reads data by reading the magnetic material on the magnetic head, and the page file is placed in different areas on the disk, the magnetic head will jump and jump, which is not conducive to improving efficiency. Moreover, there are many system disk files, and the virtual memory is certainly not continuous, so it should be placed on other disks. To change the location of the page file: Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties → Advanced → Performance Settings → Advanced → Change Virtual Memory" and select the location you want to change in the drive bar. It is worth noting that after moving the page file, the original file will be deleted (the system will not delete it automatically). After
2, change the size of the page file
change the location of the page file, we can also make some adjustments to its size. We need to pay attention to the adjustment, do not set the maximum and minimum page files to equal values. Because usually the memory will not be really "filled up", it will automatically put some of the temporarily unused data into the hard disk when the internal storage reaches a certain level. The larger the minimum page file, the lower the percentage and the slower the execution. The maximum page file is the limit value. Sometimes a lot of programs are opened. The memory and the minimum page file are “filled up” and will automatically overflow to the largest page file. So it is unreasonable to set the two equal. In general, the minimum page file is set smaller so that more data can be stored in memory as much as possible, which is more efficient. The maximum page file is set larger to avoid the situation of “full staff”.
3, disable the page file
When have more than 512MB of memory, the role of the paging file will not be obvious, so we can disable it. To do this, go to the registry editor "HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlSession Ma-nagerMemoryManagement" and set its value to "1" in the "DisablePa-ging Executive" option.
4, clear the page file
there in the same position a "(shutdown to clear the page file) ClearPageFileAtShutdown", the value is set to "1." The "clear" page file mentioned here does not mean that the pagefile.sys file is completely deleted from the hard disk, but it is "cleaned" and organized to prepare for better use of virtual memory when starting Windows XP next time. .
叮当评论: This article explains the concept and optimization method of virtual memory in more detail. Let us understand its working relationship between memory and hard disk, and realize that virtual memory is not as large as possible, but should be adjusted according to the specific configuration of the computer. I believe that after you really understand and master the role and optimization of virtual memory, you will definitely improve the performance of your love machine.
5, to adjust the size of the cache area
system may be provided by using the ratio of the cache in the "main purpose computer" tab (for Windows 98). If the system has more memory, you can select "network server", so the system will use more memory as the cache. In the CD-ROM tab, you can directly adjust how much memory the system uses as a cache for reading and writing CD-ROM discs.
6, memory monitor memory
system no matter how big, will always run out. Although there is virtual memory, since the read/write speed of the hard disk cannot be compared with the speed of the memory, when using the memory, it is necessary to monitor the memory usage at all times. A system monitor is provided in the Windows operating system to monitor memory usage. Generally, if only 60% of the memory resources are available, you should pay attention to adjusting the memory, otherwise it will seriously affect the running speed and system performance of the computer.
7, the timely release of memory space
If you find that the system is running out of memory, it should pay attention to free memory. The so-called release of memory is to release the data residing in the memory from the memory. The easiest and most effective way to free up memory is to restart your computer. In addition, it is to close the program that is not used temporarily. Also note that if you store image data in the clipboard, it will take up a lot of memory space. At this time, as long as a few words are clipped, the original image on the clipboard in the memory can be flushed out, thereby releasing a large amount of memory occupied by it.
8, optimize data
memory in Windows, the more data that resides in memory, it takes up more memory resources. Therefore, the shortcut icons on the desktop and in the taskbar should not be set too much. If memory resources are tight, consider using as few background residing programs as possible. Do not open too many files or windows while you are operating your computer. After using the computer for a long time, if the computer is not restarted, the data arrangement in the memory may be confusing, resulting in a decline in system performance. Then you have to consider restarting your computer.
. 9, to improve the performance of other components of the computer
performance of other components of the use of memory has a greater influence, such as bus type, CPU, memory, and a hard disk and the like. If the memory is too small and the amount of data displayed is large, it is impossible to increase the speed and system efficiency of the memory. If the speed of the hard disk is too slow, it will seriously affect the work of the entire system.
