Subject: Windows disk cache configuration

Author: Mike Hood

Date: 07:38:47 02/27/02

My PC has 512 MB of Ram installed. (The prices fell so low that I couldn't
resist the temptation to upgrade). I thought this would mean I could use larger
hashtables for engine tournaments, such as 128 MB per engine. But there was
still a noticeable amount of disk-swapping. According to the Windows utility
System Monitor 197 MB of my memory was being used for disk cache! This figure
varies, and it seems to creep steadily upwards during tablebase access. Is there
any way to tell Windows to reduce the disk cache to a sensible level?
