Benching SuperPi tweaks @32M

[Jochenp]

I'm going to bench a lot of those so called 'tweaks' and see if they actually make a difference in SuperPi 32M
I'm gonna use XPLite, X-Setup 7.2 and some tweaks in the sticky.
Before I start, I wanna know if anyone has any tweaks they wanna see benched @ 32M?
BTW, I'm using a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 for this.
I already disabled unnecessairy services, so we won't see the effect of that, I'm sorry


Ok, first run, this is without tweaks (except for disabled services)



XPLite did a decent job, it shaved 11 seconds (don't know if this within the margin of error) and it freed >200MB harddisk space, and that is the main purpose of this program.



Another update, testing the DisablePagingExecutive=1 tweak, of which all tweak experts say that it doesn't make any difference. Because of that, I reran this test 3x and I reran it 3x without the tweak, to make sure my results weren't an error or something screwing up. It shaved 2 seconds off. Quite funny, if I disable it, I always get 29min 51sec, if I enable it I always get 29min 49sec. It seems SuperPi 32M doens't have a margin of error and always shows the same results for the same settings (I like that, it makes my benches more accurate!)



Going to test with a registry cleaner, it won't do too much right now, since this is a fresh install, but we'll see...
Using this one http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
EDIT: RegCleaner is a POS, it added 5 seconds

Pretty weard huh, deleting obsolete values in a registry makes it slower, that doenst make sence
Maybe some other stuff slipped in by installing it...
Well, all I can say is, don't use RegCleaner, because once you deleted those values and you (like it did, stupidstupid me ) deleted it's backup files, there is no way of adding them again.


The LargeSystemCache=1 did a wonderfull job
It shaved 1min and 27sec off, but yesterday, before I undid this tweak, and redid it, I shaved even 10 seconds more Too bad, but still, this is, untill now, the best tweak you can do!
