Reg Tweak - Speed

[360discgolf]

6-Speed up

Using a registry editor such as PHM RegEdit lookup and change the following three values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=0x1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096)


** I did this tweak, but I set both of the 4096 values to 8192 and is seems to be moving faster with no ill effects. Is there anyone more experienced out there that can tell me potential pros or cons to using the higher values?

Ok, this is very strange. I used resco registry and when I looked up the value for the first reg entry, (CacheSize) the dword value was 0
Maybe a wm6 bug? It seems very very odd for a cache to be enabled but for the size limit to be zero...?
I changed the value to 8192, and i will report back on the effects.

Ok I checked the settings on my 6700 and they are exactly as you stated you set yours to. Not sure what ROM you are using but things seem ok on my 6700.

I am using the Sprint C/S WM6 Rom from robmeyer on my 6700. I check a couple of sites that I go to that take a long time to load and they loaded much faster after changing the Cachesize to 8192

Ok your rom registry was already edited from default values of "enable" being zero and "cahche size" being zero as well. Enabling cache and Increasing values only takes up some of your program memory.

The FATFS cachesize refers to file system cache, stuff that gets written, so you run risk of more cache being in memory & not written on a sudden reset. When doing a soft reset it is better to use a program and not the stylus as that is a sudden reset.

The ReplStoreCacheSize refers to the file management, made more of an impact for me at 8192.

You forgot one other reg setting:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 32768
It increases font rendering, speeding up display. I use a high setting so you can lower that but it woks good 4 me.


Those are the main speed-up reg edits, and remember to backup your registry, be careful and don't make mistakes when editing. those

EDIT:
One other thing can be done for speed, which is increasing the "pagepool" which I havent tried yet so can't help there.

I've tried doing the page pool on Helmi's latest wm6 rom thingy but it doesn't work. I think it has something to do with it having WM6 3.5.0.0 while the page pool changing thing is for wm6 4.0.0.0 so unless we find the byte for 3.5.0.0 it won't work i really want to set the page pool i heard it makes it go much faster

Higher number uses more RAM. So the higher you go the less "program memory" you will have.
