Smartmon
Improve Windows performance

Smartmon is a feature that  can be found in your DOS directory if you are using DOS 6.0.

If you have Windows 3.1 Resource Kit, you will find it in the Windows directory.

Using Smartmon minimized you will be able monitor the percent of disk cache hit ratio.

Upper left corner are the numbers we want to adjust to see the  hit rate average 60% to 80%. It will be hard to averge a 100%. By monitoring the graph you can see that Smart Drive was able to satisfy read request on some of the hits stored in the cache. The idea here is to reduce the disk accesses to improve Windows performance. I changed the Smart Drive settings in increments of 256, starting at 2048 and going up. I think the option button saved the settings you see here now. Play with it and then monitor it for a while, then try another. I went up around 9000 and Windows got real slow. You may not be able to achieve a 60% with less than 4MB of RAM. You may think about purchasing more RAM.

As you can see here the hit ratio was 100%. This is what you see when run minimized. Minimized will allways stay on top. While you are running your Windows programs you will be able to monitor the average.

Here is where you change your Smart Drive settings. Each time you change, remember to reboot or the new settings will not be affective.
