Prefetch Folder - Clean It Out!
One of the things Windows XP gave us was the concept of Prefetch. Prefetch is the processor action of getting an instruction from memory well before it will need it. In this way, the processor will not need to wait for the memory to answer its request. The Prefetch instruction may simply be the next instruction in the program, to be fetched, while the current instruction is being executed. Or, the prefetch may be part of a complex branch prediction where the processor tries to guess the result of the calculation and fetch the correct instructions in advance. The problem with prefetch is that after using it for a period of time, the prefetch folder fills up with junk and obsolete links, which can slow down XP's performance over time. The solution is to empty the prefetch folder at least once a month. more
