How to make the operating system faster? Put your mouse shake it up

In order for the computer to play a stronger performance, users often use the Add New Hardware, or existing hardware overclocking mode. However, in the early stages of computer development, even users can also improve performance by other ingenious ways - constantly shake the mouse cursor.

Recently, foreign media reports TechSpot a "Special Features" Microsoft Windows 95 operating system in existence - the original take an hour to complete the installation of large-scale applications, may be able to easily reduced to 15 minutes.

A post on Stack Exchange, said : In Windows 95, move the mouse cursor, and can really speed up system performance. Because the operating system's event generating method flawed, and many applications are based on event driven.

One user explained that: Windows 95 applications often uses asynchronous I / O, in time (for example, a copy to be executed) they are required to perform certain file operations, told the OS that will be able to go to sleep until the operation is complete .

This mechanism allows other applications to run interspersed with neutral, rather than the CPU time is wasted in endless inquired whether the operation has been completed on the file.

Related to "shake the mouse to improve performance," this thing, do not know the specific reason for the time being. A guess is that Microsoft is attempting to solve performance problems on low-end machines.

It is reported that, Windows 95 tend to bundle related to the completion of the messages I O /, and the application will not wake up immediately, and provide services.

However, the OS may make an appropriate indeed for the user input, and when the application is in the awake state, it is possible to handle any pending I / O message.

换言之,晃动鼠标可使应用程序更快地处理 I/O 消息并加快安装速度,且效果相当明显。

配合适当的鼠标输入,原先可能需要 1 小时才能完成安装的大型应用程序,有望缩减到仅需 15 分钟。
