(CR #447488) You can significantly improve the performance of EAServer network applications running on Windows by configuring the system settings described in this section.
Configuring system properties
Select Start | Control Panel.
In the Control Panel, double-click System. The System Properties dialog displays.
Select the Advanced tab. In the Performance section, click Settings. The Performance Options dialog displays.
On the Visual Effects tab, select Adjust for Best Performance.
Select the Advanced tab. Under both Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage, select Programs.
Click OK in the Performance Options dialog, then click OK in the System Properties dialog.
Deleting and re-creating the page file
When you re-create the page file, it resides contiguously on the hard drive, instead of scattered across the drive, which improves performance.
Select Start | Control Panel.
In the Control Panel, double-click System. The System Properties dialog displays.
Select the Advanced tab. In the Performance section, click Settings. The Performance Options dialog displays.
Select the Advanced tab. In the Virtual Memory section, click Change. The Virtual Memory dialog displays.
Under Paging File Size for Selected Drive, select No Paging File, and click Set.
Click OK in the Virtual Memory dialog, the Performance Options dialog, and the System Properties dialog.
Restart your computer.
Repeat steps 1 – 4.
Under the heading Paging File Size for Selected Drive, select Custom Size, and set Initial Size and Maximum Size to the same value. This prevents the page file from dynamically resizing while applications are running, which can degrade performance. Enter a value that is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory on the machine. This allows the memory of all processes to be swapped out to the page file, and allows enough room for additional processes to be used, in case most of the physical memory is in use.
Click Set.
Click OK in the Virtual Memory dialog, the Performance Options dialog, and the System Properties dialog.
