XPize and system speed?

[laurens]

Does XPize take effect at the systemspeed? make XPize it faster/slower?

[glent]

it should have no affect in system speed or stability

[Aaron_]

It just replace resources, system speed should not be affected.

[XPero]

There is no performance decrease because XPize does not run in the background. It just replace resources, kinda "install and forget".

[Martijn]

Maybe read the FAQ on the XPize website?

Edit: never mind....

Is it possible to add an option that removes unneeded resources like 128x128, 48x48 icons etc.

Ofcourse the sizes aren't the same for everyone (some people like having big icons on their desktop), so with some checkboxes you can select which icons to remove and maybe also remove the 16 colors icons, 256 color icons, etc... or is XPize already doing this?

And by removing resources you decrease the file size of the system, which results is less memory usage and so actually speeding up the system? I don't know how many icons XPize replaces .

Is this true? Or does windows dynamicly loads the usefull resources in memory instead of all of them? Can someone tell me if this is going to make a difference?

[alsiladka]

my guess is that 128 x 128 requirs a little more memory. but using the lite pack wont affect the speed.

@xpero

is the option to select only the icon size which you want?

[Nakatomi2010]

Either XPize or something I've been doing actually seems to speed the system I build right up...

Though that may be because I'm disabling "Automatically Search for sahred resources" by default....

If you choose to install TaskSwitchXP this will use some system resources, as it runs as a task in the background.

Yeah less than a meg of RAM used by taskswithXP.
