Stupid proxomitron tricks II

I visit the Web Monks forums only occasionally... so thanks for flagging this one up here. (I would have probably missed it otherwise).

I'll be trying the Proxo tweak tonight!

I posted it there 'cause I wanted to keep testing it, here, before I threw it to the rest of us, but still get some impartial input ... didn't want to be having to post a retraction the same night I posted a tweak ... so far, it's worked well for ~72 hours here, so I decided to let it loose... enjoy, and let us know if it helps...

I tried a .bat file, but WinME doesn't like the "/high" switch. I don't know enough to mess around with it. maybe someone else out there does.

qwion as you had already stated, I am running this tweak with Proxomitron and I had noticed immediate results. It is as if I have an new and empty cache with all loads.

Faster page loads without changing anything to my default filter set. I am running of course Zhen-Xjells latest ver. 1.12, and have had no problems with his set since the very first install, and I have had it on both 98 and W2K.

I am going to continue monitoring Proxomitron's performance, and I will keep any new discoveries with this current arrangement confined to this thread.

I am thinking of playing around with the filters that are currently running by omitting a few as I am looking forward to hereing the "Proxo Scream".

Thank you for the excellent tip!

Regards,

Hi,

As far as I know there is no such command as "HIGH" for Win98, but one can change the priority with 3. party software like PrcView from PCWorld »www.pcworld.com/downloads/browse···1,00.asp

I have tried it, but since my connection is so fast already (10Mbits), it is difficult for me to see any change. So this is just a tip for other W98 users on how to change priority. (If anyone knows about how to change the priority in W98 it would be nice)

Well gang, the last release of my files are pretty well built. There hasn't been anything major I've seen to add to it yet.

Glad all is working well.

I second that. The Zhen conf files contain everything I can imagine, really. As far as it goes, I'm still figuring out all of the filters, here. Great job...

The "trick" works well on NT and 2k, so far. Looks like it may not be a 9x trick. Thanks to those who offered input. As always, again, thanks, Zhen, for finding this goodie, and for all the work getting a more complete filter set together and working great.

PS - looks like some users have this working on 98... make sure you rename it to *.bat, for 9x/Me... remember, *.cmd is an NT family convention...

It seems I missed the last release of the config files. Any chance of pointing me to it.

Thanks CJ. I went to that site and tried to find info on his config files before, but was blocked. Your linked opened that locked thread there.
Much appreciated.

BWT I asked WCB to include this in my review thread, and it should now be there. Figured this link was more appropriate since it also points to the one in webmonks.
