CleverCache V4 Professional [ENGLISH] Description:

O&O CleverCache V4 Professional Edition

File caching usually improves the speed of accessing files. When they are read again, the system can retrieve them from the faster memory, instead of reading from the slower hard disk. Windows accesses your hard disk for reading and writing through its integrated File Cache Management.Unfortunately, Windows' file caching shows a misbehavior when handling file operations. It allocates main memory for the file cache, which is no longer available for running applications. If applications request new memory, the system will be forced to swap out currently unused memory areas into the paging file, thus requiring read/write access to the hard disk. This paradox situation leads to a dramatic decrease in system performance, caused by the file caching, which slows down your machine instead of making it faster. Up to now, the user could neither control its behavior nor adjust it to its personal needs.

O&O CleverCache V4 solves this problem by taking control over the resource management for file caching and applications. It prevents heavy system loading and guarantees the availability of a certain amount of memory. Applications can now allocate memory without forcing Windows to swap. This leads to a performance increase and to lower response times, especially if you are running many applications at the same time and tend to switch between them quite often. Our tests have shown that Windows systems are able to run twice as fast when using O&O CleverCache - no matter if it is a Server or Workstation.

The integration of O&O CleverCache V4 in Windows will be done fully automatically. It runs as a system service in the background and guards the allocation of memory resources through its unique O&O AutoSense-technology. Every time your computer is booted, changes of the system's memory configuration are detected and will be immediately taken into consideration. There is no need for the user to configure O&O CleverCache. The administrator can use an applet within the Control Panel to adjust settings manually.

O&O CleverCache V4 runs under Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The workstation version is optimized for best performance of the active application. Optimum allocation of memory resources is the primary task of the server version to guarantee shortest possible response time of server applications.

How the file cache reduces memory resources
The more the file cache grows, the fewer memory is available to running applications. The result is a significant performance decrease, as requests for memory can lead to the so-called "swapping", i.e. currently unused memory areas are paged out to NT's paging file. The slow hard disk access is responsible for the loss of performance of Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT.
