The Many OS software tweaks of SuperPi Exposed

Copy Wazza

What is it?
Basically, copy wazza is moving a large file/folder between two different drives or partitions.

How does it work?
From my understanding, because the size is usually bigger than my system memory, the copy wazza procedure causes your memory to be cleared out by the copying process, then when you run SuperPi is gets the first rights to it, speeding up Spi calculations.

What do I do?
Simple! first we need to generate some big files, some people zip alot of stuff or make DVD images. I've a better solution Goto start -> run... and type in this command:

You will now find a file in your C: root called "largefile.txt" that will be a little under 1MB. Simply adjust the number at the end to create larger files. Copy Wazza is quite system specific and usually people file different sizes give them best results. Personally for me around 4GB worked best, I've seem as high as 6.4GB and a low as 3GB so you'll have toplay about a bit to see what works.

It has also become apparent that moving it twice between drives can also gain time. Normally you would move the files from say D: -> C: but some (including me) have found that D: -> C: -> D: works best. Again play about and see what works for you.

Results

Well actually there's not going to be a results section for copy wazza as it seems to be very dependant on how your system. I do recommend however that you concentrate on this far more than any of the other tweaks as the gains are alot bigger (except for LSC in XP). I found for my system a file around 3-4GB gained me the most time using the D: -> C: -> D: method.
