Save Processor Power

Your processor polls your USB ports once every millisecond. It keeps doing this, EVEN if you aren't going to attach any USB devices. You can increase the polling interval-essentially by enabling "USB IDLING" - thus allowing some processors to enter power saving mode.

Navigate to:
HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0000

Create a new DWORD value called IdleEnable and set it to 1 to enable USB Idling, thus increasing the polling interval.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Load Kernel Into RAM

Programs in Windows 98 could be loaded and Kept in RAM as long as user want. Even the user could load a video clip into RAM and play it directly from there; Windows XP is much  more restrictive due to security reasons. But Windows XP provides functionality to force kernel to run into RAM. By Default, only required components of XP kernel are loaded in RAM at boot time. Here, in this Tweak I will explain how to force Windows XP kernel run from RAM.

Navigate to:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session_Manager\Memory Management

Set the Value of the "DisablePagingExecutive" to 1 which will make the entire kernel be loaded in Memory (Reboot is required.)

Note: Use this hack only if you have sufficient memory (Recommended 512MB or more). Also this hack may affect some programs that use the Windows swap file directly, like Photoshop.
