If anything, use the entries in the cache to decide what you should get your defragmenter program to physically cluster on the drive (Assuming your defragmenter has that facility, and then use base filename with wildcard for the directory)
Most drives nowadays, and the Windows OS can do a thing called read-ahead, where the drive reads a full track, and all that is stored in the windows 'disk read' cache Theory is that when the next bit of a big file is wanted it is already in memory But it also works, to a lesser extent with multiple files on the same track of the disk drive JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 4:00 AM Subject: Re: Faster IPL > At 09:29 PM 9/9/2005, Stephen Bird typed: > >I was suggesting it was controversial because some (TechRepublic) > >say clear it and > >some (Ed Bott) say not. > > Having worked a beta with Ed, if he says don't then that's good enough for me. > > > ----------+---------- > Wayne D.
