====== Optimizations ======

This page gives some hints and optimizations you can make to tune your MINIX 3 system
to match your requirements.

===== Increase the File System buffer cache =====

If you have a large memory, you may also wish to increase the size of the file system buffer cache.
To do this, change the value of the constant //NR_BUFS// in //servers/mfs/Makefile//. This value tells how big the cache is in disk blocks (normally 4 KB), so a value of, say, 4096, creates a 16-MB cache.
Then rebuild and reboot the system.
