 ET> Is there an advantage to have more than one lazy write
 ET> workers on the HPFS cache? Does this help with the
 ET> performance when writing to disk (HPFS partition)?

 PF> I was told by Denis Tonn that there is an optimum - too many can
 PF> also degrade performance.  For my 96MB system he suggested:
 PF> DiskIdle:    30000 milliseconds
 PF> MaxAge:    60000 milliseconds
 PF> BufferIdle:    15000 milliseconds
 PF> Cache size:     2048 kbytes
 PF> 3 Lazy write worker(s) are enabled.
 PF> 1 Read ahead worker(s) are enabled.
 PF> Relationship as DiskIdle=2*BufferIdle, Maxage=2(to 5)*DiskIdle

Where is this information 'entered' into your configuration? Thanks.
Happy Holydays!  & Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
