OS/2 Performance Tips

When I originally was planning my pages I had decided to maintain a library of tips to help people tune their systems for optimal performance. That idea has changed somewhat for several reasons. I have decided to make this page more of a starting point to help you find places that can help you tune all aspects of your OS/2 system's performance.

My reasoning:
 * 1) There are many sites devoted solely to providing thorough information on maximizing OS/2's performance, and I feel those sites do a far better job of providing information than I could.
 * 2) An addendum to reason 1; There are several "notorious" sites that are merely cutting and pasting other people's hard work without giving due credit. This practice offends me, thus I choose not to give even the appearance of impropriety in my content.

Why have I decided to maintain this page?
The answer for that is simple. Many new OS/2 users complain that the operating system does not perform as well as they had expected. The most common reason for this (in my experience) is that the person who suggested that they try Warp never bothered to explain that there *is* a learning curve, as there is with any "new" piece of software. This learning curve involves aspects of learning to use the features of the Operating System as well as learning how to increase performance. With a little bit of information, anyone can have their OS/2 installation running well, regardless of their experience level.

OS/2 is one of the most efficient of the advanced operating systems available for the x86 architecture in terms of resource utilization. Until the system is properly tuned though, much of the potential can be lost. While I have made an effort to make this information accessible for new OS/2ers, experienced users might benefit from some of the tips that are offered on these sites as well.
