Fast filesystem
Hi,
On the project that I am working on we need to store and retrieve files as
fast as possible. The size of the file are mostly large, 1 Mb to a 100Mb.
To get some decent performance we will store our data onto a RAID0 disk. We
do not really care what will happen to the data in case of a crash.
I am trying to find a way to get even more performance out of system. I am

Long Login Times
We are running XP SP2 on mostly newer Dell hardware. Over the past month we
have been getting complaints about some machines taking 9 to 14 mins to boot
up and login on the network.
XP boot times are normal but once the user logs into the network (AD 2003
with local DC) is where the system seems to almost stop.
My question???
Are there any tools out there that could help us log this ...

2.3 GB page file?
Have a XP machine with 1GB RAM and a 2.3 GB page file running horribly slow.
Have 2 other XP machines, with page files in the 400 to 600 MB range, so I
feel confident I have found a problem, if not the cause, then at least an
effect. Machine in question is son's desktop, he does online gaming (WoW and
COD4) Do not have SP3 on this machine yet, but all other patches have been
applied. ...

Folders w/photos are painfully slow
A few months back I replaced my 1 gb CPU with a new Intel Core 2 CPU machine.
Everything is o much faster now with one exception. When I click on a photo
directory to get a detail listing of the 200 or so photos, it might take
10-15 seconds to show the detail list. On my old machine that would have
taken only a second or two. If I then change the view from Detail to
Thumbnail, it might t...

lsass.exe takes a lot of CPU
On unpredictable moments lsass.exe uses a lot of CPU on my Windows XP Pro SP2.
I have all updates installed and a virus scan did not reveal any viruses or
malware. The process can't be killed, because this shuts the computer down
(as the sasser worm does).
Inspecting the threads the program runs, it looks like it is always the same
action that makes lsass.exe skyrocket in cpu usage: a t...
