Examine other applications
Examine the services or daemons that are running on your system and remove
those that are not required to increase available memory and CPU cycles. For
example, if your system is running a Web server that serves only a few Web
pages, consider using Caching Proxy as your only Web server. Disable other Web servers
as follows:
- On AIX: Examine /etc/inittab
- On Linux: Examine /etc/rc.d/rcx.d for your system's default run
level (typically 2)
- On HP-UX and Solaris: Examine /etc/rcx.d for your
system's default run level (typically 2).
- On Windows systems:
- Click Start -> Settings (for Windows 2000) -> Control
Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services.
- Review services that are not required but are set to Automatic.
- Change the startup type for those services from Automatic to Manual.
