frixer Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi, I recently converted from Bitcomet to UT and the strangest of things is happening to me. I usually download using my laptop (4200rpm drive), With Bitcomet even when I downloaded @ 600K my HDD was pretty OK but with UT I am downloading at ~300K and getting my hard drive thrashed a lot. It takes ages to launch a browser window and the HDD activity light is almost always on. I tried a couple of write cache setting from this forum but I presume that those weren't meant for slow HDDs like mine so can anyone tell me what settings should I change to get UT working smoothly.Another questionBefore running UT.Free Ram ~370MPagefile usage ~120MFile Handles ~4000After running UTFree RAM ~50MPagefile usage: ~260MFile Handles ~11000Eventhough the Task Manager is showing that UT is using aaround 20megs of ram may I know where the rest of the resources go?Thanks alot!

Firon Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Probably the System Cache. You are using 1.5, yes?Is anything else increasing in memory use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frixer Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Probably the System Cache. You are using 1.5, yes?Is anything else increasing in memory use?I am using 1.5 build 437 No nothing else is increasing in memory usage. There are no programs except UT running (only 14 processes)PS: The thrashing only starts to happen after some time. I just restarted UT and the handles/mem usage/ PF usage are the same but the HDD activity isn't that noticeable but after some time it just goes crazy :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hmm... all I can suggest, is set diskio.write_queue_size to 65535, turn off diskio.flush_files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
