Finally I benchmarked transfer of a 600 megabyte file from drive to

they give in and say that "yes, with large amounts of ram it can be
a problem that Vcache grows too large during a tranfer of a very
large file, but operatios on large files were very unusual - or
words to that effect. In the end I set miminum vcache to 48 megs and
max to 96 megs, later I just locked it at 48 megs, for some reason
24 megs and 48 megs were faster than values in between.
Are you taking credit for discovering the vcache bug in W98?
No or yes, I didn't know it was a "bug", I just had a brand new Pentium2 300
megahertz with 192 megs of ram that couldn't burn CD's.
Kind regards

The
algorithm that set its size was faulty, and with large amounts of RAM
installed it could get far too big. There was an easy fix.
