This article was previously published under Q139669 SUMMARY
This article describes the Disable Synchronous Buffer Commits option. To
access this option, double-click the System icon in Control Panel, click
the Performance tab, click File System, and then click the Troubleshooting
tab.
MORE INFORMATION
Using this option causes the "Commit File" API to initiate a write of the
uncommitted (dirty) buffers to disk, but does not wait for the write to be
completed. This means that when the API returns, the data may not yet be
on the physical disk.
Using this option will not increase performance for most programs and may
cause file integrity problems for any programs that expect data to be
committed to disk. You should use this option only when you are
troubleshooting performance problems with certain programs that require
it. Check with the program's manufacturer before using this option.
