I am running Win XP SP2 on a 2.8 GHertz Pentium system with 1 GB memory. I
am using the Hosts file from the MVPS web site. It's size is about 274KB. I
have a Comcast cable connection.
The MVPS web site states that a Hosts file larger than 135 KB may cause
Internet Explorer to slow down and suggests changing the Startup Type of the
DNS Client service from Automatic to Manual.
However, as far as I can tell IE's performance does not obviously change if
I disable Hosts (by renaming it) or change the Statup Type of the DNS Client
service. I would character IE's performance in general as good to very good.
Is this what is to be expected on a workstation with my hardware or am I
mssing something?
thanks....ralph
