cumminbk Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hey is it a good idea to disable the disk performance monitor in xp? i found this command diskperf -n and am wondering if anyone else finds that this frees up resources. Is there any side effects if this tweak performance monitors are disabled?Also is this just another form of the NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate registry tweak or is it something total different.thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Any performance gains from running diskperf -n are merely perceived. See the bold text below:C:\>diskperf /?DISKPERF [-Y[D|V] | -N[D|V]] [\\computername] -Y Sets the system to start all disk performance counters when the system is restarted. -YD Enables the disk performance counters for physical drives. when the system is restarted. -YV Enables the disk performance counters for logical drives or storage volumes when the system is restarted. -N Sets the system to disable all disk performance counters when the system is restarted. -ND Disables the disk performance counters for physical drives. -NV Disables the disk performance counters for logical drives. \\computername Is the name of the computer you want to see or set disk performance counter use. The computer must be a Windows 2000 system. NOTE: Disk performance counters are permanently enabled on systems beyond Windows 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What input are you looking for? Disabling any performance counter results in negligible performance gains, because it's such an inexpensive operation to gather data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
