How To Make Tremulous Run Faster- A Guide

[Bissig]

NTFS = type of a (more) modern file system from Microsoft that uses advanced features like Data Streams and Journaling. It shouldn't fragment as much as the old type fat16/32 filesystems

[Lakitu7]

If you're running NTFS, and you really should be on your system drive, defragmenting is really unlikely to make a performance difference.

Defraging NTFS won't make trem run faster, however depending on how fragmented your drive is, it could greatly improve load times. 

Agreed. I tend to measure things in terms of FPS though. Load times don't help too much unless they're SO BAD that you miss warmup, so that's why I didn't mention it. Sorry to make it sound like defragging does NOTHING, when I was just going for that it does nothing for your FPS.

Also, agreed regarding adding more RAM. That's a point I was trying to make too.

Taking care of crapware and those idiotic "helper" utilities is certainly worthwhile. MSConfig helps. Hijackthis is better, if you know what you're doing.

I don't agree with tooling around with Microsoft services. Use MSConfig and check "hide all Microsoft services," then take care of some of the "updater"-types that crept in through that section.

Game XP is intended to optimize the performance of your computer for gaming needs. It tweaks and modifies various XP settings (cache settings, CPU priority etc.) and optionally disables or stops several Windows services that are usually not needed. The program does not require any installation, and does not need to be running at all times. Game XP extends your operating system's capabilities and makes Windows faster and comfortable for maximum gaming experience.

Maybe thats why ur antivirus detect it as a virus.(Check highlighted)
