xp memory and web sites

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I've switched to DSL 3mbps. And normally it's easily over 1.7 mbps download all
the time.

That's what I see on the speed tests if I use it while downloading something.

I've hit some sites that I did better at 56k. bytes seem to trickle at 54 bytes
per sec or slower>

And right now I'm at a web site that could definitely benefit from the
preloading images html option.

I'm just curious is this something normal for DSL, or is the memory clogging
with un cleared garbage ?

I have a P4 dual processor 3.2ghz 1 gig ram. and HD is a 159 gig Sata. Speed
hasn't been an issue off line for anything.

Even my own web site crawls at times. I've seen the NG's also crawling making
me kick myself for switching to DSL.

I'm just wondering if the OS has a problem with garbage collection or freeing
memory ? The task manager shows a 400+ meg page file, and CPU usage is steady
around 2-10%.
Available memory is reporting 453,856 megs system cache 612,864
Kernal memory at 92,276 paged, and 32,884 non paged.
