There are many people out there complaining about the Firefox RAM Memory Bug. Lets get it straight. It’s not a bug. It’s part of the cache feature. This ‘feature’ is how the pages are cached in a tabbed environment. To improve performance when navigating (studies show that 39% of all page navigations are renavigations to pages visited less than 10 pages ago, usually using the back button), Firefox implements a Back-Forward cache that retains the rendered document for the last five session history entries for each tab. This is a lot of data. If you have a lot of tabs, Firefox’s RAM memory usage can climb dramatically. Now a lot of us have found the ‘secrets’ on how to manipulate settings in “about:config” to drop the memory usage as long as possible and to increase the speed at which Firefox loads sites. Remember: Firefox (download it here) is the best internet browser available (in my opinion), and these tweaks below will make it even greater and faster.

Here’s how to do it: 1. 1. 2. 3. Analyzing Storage Performance using the Windows Performance Analysis ToolKi. Windows Performance Toolkit - Xperf - Ntdebugging Blog - Site Home - MSDN B. I recently came across a very interesting profiling tool that is available in Vista SP1 and Server 08 called the Windows Performance Analyzer. You can use this tool to profile and diagnose different kinds of symptoms that the machine is experiencing. This tool is built on top off the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) infrastructure. It uses the ETW providers to record kernel events and then display them in a graphical format. Performance Analyzer provides many different graphical views of trace data including: CPU Sampling CPU and Disk utilization by process and thread Interrupt service routine and deferred procedure call Hard faults Disk I/O Detail What you will need Download the latest version of the Windows Performance Tools Kit, and install it on your machine.

After installation you should be able to see 2 new tools. You will need to run the Xperf and XperfView from an elevated command prompt for all functionality.

While you may get an erroneous warning message regarding the absence of an antivirus solution, you can adjust PerfMon to report accurately. The Reliability and Performance Monitor (PerfMon) was first introduced in Windows Vista. This was one of the new Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in components that was truly helpful.

This snap-in is still present in Windows 7 in a slightly modified version, yet its primary function remains the same. During my time on the Microsoft Answers Forum, there were many posts that dealt with the PerfMon health report generator issue, especially when the report stated that the Security Center had not recorded an antivirus product. The PerfMon System Health Report PerfMon generates a complete system health report by collecting a lot of system information (see Figure 1), including: Figure 1 The Reliability and Performance Monitor in Windows 7 collects data and generates reports. PerfMon gathers and checks the collected information and generates a report. Add a fix to improve the logging capabilities of the Storport.sys driver to troubleshoot poor disk I/O performance in Windows Server 2008 R2. On a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer, it usually takes you lots of time to troubleshoot slow performance or unresponsiveness issues that occur when you perform disk I/O operations.

The most common cause of I/O latency issues is faulty or underperforming drivers. These latency issues occur specifically with disk or filter drivers. Disk drivers typically are associated with third-party Storage Area Network (SAN) products. Filter drivers typically are associated with antivirus, security, or encryption products. To resolve this issue, install the following hotfix. Hotfix information A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix download available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. Note If additional issues occur or if any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. Note The "Hotfix download available" form displays the languages for which the hotfix is available. Use Windows PowerShell to Monitor System Performance.
