The file system cache is a subset of the memory system that retains recently used information for quick access. The size of the cache depends on the amount of physical memory installed and the memory required for applications. The operating system dynamically adjusts the size of the cache as needed, sharing memory optimally between process working sets and the system cache.
And why Wazza is effective:
Frequent cache flushing might occur if data is written to the disk frequently in order to free pages
If your running on XP/2003, open Task Manager and you can watch it grow during CW file copy.
Thank you so much GHZ. I like learning my own style to tweaks, but I'm one of those wierdos who like to understand WHY I'm doing what I am. Now I can visualize what wazza is doing when I'm using it.
