Use LargeSystemCache. Windows has this disk-I/O cache. The default setting favors file sharing. This uses more memory than the other settings. If server memory is a bottleneck, set the cache to favor network applications, or, in extreme cases, set it to minimize memory. Otherwise, leave the default setting.
To change the setting in Windows, go to the Control Panel, click the "Network and Dial up Connections" icon, click Local Area Connection. Right-click on the properties for a network connection, and click "File And Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks."
Choose one of the following:
- "Maximize data throughput for file sharing"
- "Maximize data throughput for network applications"
- "Minimize memory used"
