Suggestion on System Configuration? - Performance/Tweak

I'll explain the story: Do not even been a week since this notebook was unfortunately "caught" in the update that results in "Boot Loop" system (search on Google and find many cases, but it seems that not all machines were affected) I was super whore and such, but as I had back up data on external storage and Cloud was alright.


As no use crying on spilled milk (by Micro $ oft), I was looking to do the hard work to install, configure and customize a new Windows from scratch. Since my last installation and configuration of Windows was a long time, I went for a sought after and studied the alternatives for maximum system performance, and that's where the doubts come.


I intend to do the following system:


- UEFI Secure Boot + USB + BitLocker
- GPT Disks
- Active RAID in the BIOS
- Windows 8 Enterprise x64
- OS and programs installed on the SSD and data on HDD
- Intel Smart Response SSD (20GB) * using this tutorial
- Intel Rapid Start in SSD (16.5GB)
- Not deleted the hibernation file, now I'll let mode "Fast Startup" Windows enabled
- System Protection = off * Explained below
- Windows 7 File Recovery (aka Automatic Backup / programmable Windows) + File History, both in HDD Docking External = on
- Run the Disk Defrag WEI for Windows to recognize the SSD properly
- Check and enable the case off, the SSD TRIM
- Move the target folders "Documents, Downloads, Pictures, ..." for HDD
- Disable things that will not use the "Turn Windows features on or off" as Windows Media Player, IE, XPS, Windows PowerShell.
- Disable GUI Boot, and set the maximum number of CPU cores at boot


Now start the factors still not sure:


- Virtual Memory: is set to "automatic management by the system", therefore, 5632MB allocated in SSD
Question: Some say to disable since it's an SSD, others say to leave on automatic, how should I proceed?


- RAM Cache: There is a very suitable for various software tutorials, the FancyCache, and from what I read it works so that the system cache is saved to main memory (RAM) and not in the secondary (SSD), which duminui R / W SSD and greatly increases the speed R / W cache.
Question: Really this software works in such a way, and does no harm to the PC? It seems too good to be true ...


- Super fetch, Prefetch: This is what makes me more confused. Every site I read says something different.
Question: What do they do in reality, and most importantly, let them enabled or not?
- Drive Indexing: Another one that drives me crazy.
Question: What does it do in reality, and most importantly, leave it enabled or not? [2]


- Write Back Caching and Windows Write Caching-Buffer Flushing.
Question: What do they do in reality, and most importantly, let them enabled or not? [3]


--------------------------------------------------


Well, I think it's "only" so if anyone can give any tips, suggestions or any help is welcome. Anything I edit the topic.


Thank you!

Leave it on automatic unless you're tight on SSD disk space. Otherwise, you can set it smaller. The PF size may not make a difference with 16GB of RAM on board, but it depends on how much RAM you use. See "How Big Should I Make the Paging File?" at Pushing the Limits of Windows: Virtual Memory - Mark's Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs


- RAM Cache: There is a very suitable for various software tutorials, the FancyCache, and from what I read it works so that the system cache is saved to main memory (RAM) and not in the secondary (SSD), which duminui R / W SSD and greatly increases the speed R / W cache.
Question: Really this software works in such a way, and does no harm to the PC? It seems too good to be true ...
Generally, let the Windows Memory Manager take care of... memory management, yeah. You can create a RAM cache and keep some frequently accessed files, like browser cache, but you may not notice any difference.


- Super fetch, Prefetch: This is what makes me more confused. Every site I read says something different.
Question: What do they do in reality, and most importantly, let them enabled or not?
- Drive Indexing: Another one that drives me crazy.
Question: What does it do in reality, and most importantly, leave it enabled or not? [2]
Drive indexing is required for Windows Search. Master the search to speed up your routine actions. If you never ever use search, you don't need indexing.


Prefetch is the old logical preferther (from XP). It works under the SuperFetch service umbrella, but otherwise has nothing to do with it. All native SupeFetch features are automatically disabled on SSDs. But if you have HDDs as well, the service will keep running to ensure Prefetch works to speed up software startup from an HDD (at least I can only see this reason behind the Microsoft's idea of keeping Prefetch on in "SSD+HDD" setups).


- Write Back Caching and Windows Write Caching-Buffer Flushing.
Question: What do they do in reality, and most importantly, let them enabled or not? [3]
Is this the Policies tab in the drive properties? The explanation is right there then. Just keep the default settings.


- OS and programs installed on the SSD and data on HDD
- Intel Smart Response SSD (20GB) * using this tutorial
- Intel Rapid Start in SSD (16.5GB)
It's not clear what kind of drives you really have and how many. I hope you haven't installed the OS on the SSD meant for caching.


- System Protection = off * Explained below
- Disable things that will not use the "Turn Windows features on or off" as Windows Media Player, IE, XPS, Windows PowerShell.
- Disable GUI Boot, and set the maximum number of CPU cores at boot
Useless. Also, setting the number of CPUs in msconfig is for debugging, not for performance gains. I've seen systems become unbootable after people messed with it.

All very true. There was a need for changing some of that stuff manually for older, smaller less durable SSDs and now some of that stuff lingers on as urban myth.
All except the last one, that is. If it does not show all cores when on auto with the wrong number of cores grayed out in the box then it is wrong and you have to set it to proper core count or windows will not use all the cores. Had that happen few times, checked and proven that it is so. Also that never prevented windows from booting or running.

My SSD is an OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB) - I'll use it for OS + programs + Intel Smart Cache + Intel Rapid Start. I know, by default you can't use Smart Cache on the partition that Windows is installed, but this topic has a workaround, that actually really works, I tried!

Prove!

Can be useless, but with this I get a 5 sec smaller boot time...

-----------------

So, you guys are telling me that I don't need change Super fetch, Prefetch, Write Back Caching and Windows Write Caching-Buffer Flushing, RAM Cache, Virtual Memory, ... It's useless nowadays with newer SSD's? That simple? :eek:

Superfetch and Prefetch are usually disabled by the OS on systems with a reasonably fast SSD. For Write Back Caching and Windows Write Caching-Buffer Flushing look to the policies tab of the drive in question. There is more information there then we can tell you here. The system cache maintained by the OS is and always has been in RAM. You shouldn't need anything else. The need for a pagefile depends on RAM size and workload. If you have one (recommended) the SSD is the ideal place for it.

FancyCache do more than this, see here, and you will understand. That's why I intend to use it!

Hmmm... SRT is meant for hybrid setups, when you have an HDD and a small low quality SSD that is still faster than the HDD. SRT intercepts your writes, caches them on the SSD, and then transfers them to the HDD during periods when writes are absent or small. Now replace "HDD" with "SSD" in the previous sentence to make it fit your setup.

What I see is that whatever SRT caches would be written to your drive twice, which unnecessarily reduces your SSD lifespan. And what's the performance benefit here exactly?

You inserted an intermediate software solution between the OS and the SSD, which introduces an additional level of complexity and a risk of data loss. You'd be better off by just letting the OS and software write to the SSD directly.
Useless. Also, setting the number of CPUs in msconfig is for debugging, not for performance gains. I've seen systems become unbootable after people messed with it.

Really? I'd like to see this :)

Would you mind setting up autologon and making 6 reboots:
• 3 with your manual number of processors settings
• 3 with the default settings
Then post the results of this PowerShell command:
Code:
Get-WinEvent -maxevents 6 -FilterHashtable @{logname="Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational"; id=100} | fl *

I can do it later, when I get the system totally configured, also I've already disabled PowerShell. I've other priorities. =p

By observing your pursuit of the highest possible performance I've developed a strong feeling that once your system is totally configured, you'd need to do a clean install. You're making too many mistakes...

Yes, surely I'll (that's why I love "Restart" feature of Windows 8 ^^), my system currently only have the Adobe Suite, that's what I need for now, I'm using my XPS for my programming, text, web tasks, etc (Arch Linux). I'm learning with the experts to do a powerful clean install!

After reading the documentation for FancyCache I remain skeptical as to it's benefits. I have a number of issues with this product but I will only mention one: the need to specify the RAM dedicated to the cache. The problem is that you will either set it too small and cache too little or set it too large and waste memory. And as usage patterns change it will be wrong most of the time.

The system cache maintained by the OS is dynamic, the RAM used varies according to usage and availability. If the cache isn't being used much or memory usage by applications is high then cache size will be trimmed back. If cache usage increases or application needs are small then the cache will grow. In fact, the cache manager in Windows doesn't even know how much RAM it is using. This is all controlled by the system memory manager which controls physical memory allocations throughout the system. It's goal is always to assign memory were it will do the most good for performance.

FancyCache may well improve caching performance but I expect that in many cases you will pay the price in overall system performance.

2. So, in a system with 16GB RAM 1600Mhz still the need of pagefile?
I suggest you read the answers carefully before asking the same questions... Let me put it differently then.

Is 5 million dollars enough for you or you still need a job? Well, if you buy a Ferrari and a nice 10-bedroom house, you'd probably need a job, right?

2. So, in a system with 16GB RAM 1600Mhz still the need of pagefile?

So what? I have 16GB 1600Mhz myself.

I've temporary disabled it. But I've seen on many good posts and links that is better to have a pagefile and that's why I've enabled it again. It's better with one than without, investigate for the details yourself if you don't believe this.

If you've read the article I linked, you already know that a pagefile is not accessed much with the most part consisting of reads and less writes, that's a good reason to leave it on a SSD.

You keep me digging thorough old posts... but I got a good one below.
Look at this here:
http://www.eightforums.com/performance-maintenance/26686-system-managed-paging-file-seems-low.html

I guess everybody there uses a pagefile.

Nothing more to add. :)

I read your post, but I'm the kind of person that wants different points of view, only one person POV isn't enough. But, now I'm satisfied, thank you guys!

All that confusion about PF harks from the time of XP and before when windows insisted on using it, needed or not and not being to unload DLLs without intervention and therefore use inordinate amounts of otherwise small amount of memory in typical user's system. Now when windows behave much better towards memory, PF is used used in extreme cases so leaving it on in auto mode could not hurt performance at all. With 8GB I am not using any and no program complained about it. There are some apps I use regularly for work with multimedia which are notorious for memory needs and they never complained either. Then I made a very small one on automanaged end newer found a byte used in it, so I just left it off and if I ever run into trouble because of that, I'll just make one, no biggie.
