4.   System optimization explained

SpeedUpMyPC increases your computer’s speed through improvements grouped into three categories: 

1.  Speed tools
2.  System tweaks
3.  Junk file deletion

4.1  

What are speed tools?

Speed tools are improvements that remain actively available for deployment as long as SpeedUpMyPC is 
left running. Each speed tool has a specific purpose.

CPU manager

A process may cause problems by manipulating an unreasonably large chunk of system resources. The 
CPU manager guards against the possibility of such an event by adjusting the priority of a process before it 
spirals out of control. 

Proactive thumbnail generator

Under some settings, every time you open a picture folder, Windows generates the picture thumbnails that are used 
for preview. This is a system resource intensive task that can slow down your PC. With the Proactive thumbnail gen-
erator on, upon folder access, your PC will conduct a one-time thumbnail generation process and save the relevant 
data to a Windows system folder. From then onwards thumbnails will be quickly retrieved instead of generated.

Software quick starter

The software quick starter increases program launch speed by anticipating the user and pre-loading data into the 
memory. 

4.2  

What are system tweaks?

System tweaks are one-time changes that take place upon clicking the 

Speed up now

 button. Although there are 

many different types of system tweaks, we group them under three categories:

System resource tweaks

 free up system resources by cutting off unused services or improving system resource 

allocation.

Internet or network tweaks

 optimize network and browser settings for better speed and efficiency. 

Visual effects tweaks 

optimize Windows visual effects for speed. 

4.3  

What are junk files?

Junk files accumulate on your computer through use, occupying hard drive space and slowing down your 
PC. After scanning you will be able to identify which files SpeedUpMyPC has identified for cleaning. For more 
information, please consult manual

 section 3.3.
