What's the point for computer optimization?
I am sure you've heard a lot of things about computer
optimization. Everywhere you look you see ads that invite you to
"boost your performance" or "improve your computer". So, what's
the idea? Is anything true about it? Does your computer really
need optimization?
Unfortunately, it does. There are many weak zones in Windows
operating system. Here are a few of them: - registry - hardware
management - internet connection
Registries are Windows's internal database. All sort of
information are stored there, from hardware and drivers info to
applications' settings. After each removal of any device, like a
printer or video card, pieces of information remain there. The
biggest problem is when you uninstall a program. Unfortunately,
many applications fail to erase all their data on removal. A
solution for this is to run "regedit" and manually search for
all references to the program and erase them.
By hardware management I mean memory and hard-disk management.
As you know, each program uses some of your computer's memory.
Memory allocation is determined by how much the program needs
and, of course, if the resource is available. When the
application stops, the used blocks of memory should be freed.
But this is not happening all the time. So, when a new programs
requests memory to run, your computer will slow down because it
will compete with other applications for the remaining
resources.
The same situation appears when you remove files from your
computer. They are not really erased. They remain on your
hard-disk and affect other files that you want to read or write.
It's the same principle as described above regarding memory
usage. To
avoid problems you should use at least once a month a
hard-disk defragmenter, in order to clean remaining pieces of
information.
Because so many people use the Internet today, internet speed
has become very important. I am talking about download speed and
browsing speed. Actually it's the same concept. When you browse
a webpage, you computer creates by default a channel with the
page's server and starts downloading it. Download speed is of
course given first of all by your internet subscription, but
there is something that affects it too. The connection channel
can be single threaded or multi threaded. As I said that channel
is by default single threaded. What your computer should do is
to break the downloaded file (image, text, archive, etc) into
several smaller parts, and create a download channel for each of
them. After they are all downloaded it should, of course,
rebuild the source. That is what all download accelerators do.
Those are only a few ideas why your computer needs optimization.
Registry tweaking, memory flushing, hard-disk defragmenters and
an accelerated Internet connection would speedup your activity
because you won't have to loose so much time waiting...
