SetSystemFileCacheSize

With the SP1 for Windows 2003 Server Microsoft implemented a new API function for limiting the file Cache`s working set minimum and maximum size permanently: SetSystemFileCacheSize. I`ve made a Little tool with the same name to use it. In contrast to SysInternals CacheSet SetSystemFileCacheSize sets a real permanent limit for the file cache`s working set size and I think this is useful to Prevent applications memory is swapped out to the pagefile in favor of a large file cache.Limiting its working set does not mean that the cache manager will never use more memory for cache than the limit defines. It`s the working set only which is limited. You will still have a large cache when there is enough availlable memory. But running Processes are no more the favourite victim when new cache memory is required.
