Default Q Speed Hack

1) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
change limit from 16384 to 32768
2) Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATFS
change cachesize to 4096


Has anyone done this? I'm being cautious and would like to know if any of you guys/gals have tried this hack yet be fore I try it myself. It's supposed to increase the responsiveness of the Q.

Why not just try it, you can always undo it. Worse case, the phone is unusable and you have to throw it away......hehe.

BTW:
The GDI tweak: This tweak will improve the response time of Pocket Internet Explorer when opening large HTML documents. Taken from http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0006.asp

Well I just tried both of these. Actually I set GLYPHCACHE = 65535.

My Q is definitely responding faster. Windows display almost instantly now, instead of drawing partially, then the rest drawing, etc. Going back is instantaneous also. I think this is all due to the second tweak. Nice.

The first tweak seems to have no effect on web page loading time however. I will play with this some more.

Default Speed Hack

It works!! Q is much quicker. I have the game folder with like 12 games in it and it had taken usually 10-15 sec. to open. Now takes just over 5 sec. ;-) Also deleting the temporary intenet files is super fast now. Only takes approx. 20 sec. instead of the 1-2 minutes of sluggishness. Even menus are popping up quicker, though I've noticed a very brief split sec blank screen before the new page comes on screen. (still faster) Everyone one should do this hack !!
