Prefetch folder windows server 2008

I also checked for the fetch folder where the database gets updated, and there is no folder. I do notice int he perf mon when I open a new program and close it, the Cache memory size goes up and stays up. So maybe they are caching in a different way now, ie it has been built into the OS. It would be nice if Microsoft told us how this works now. It's clearly different and could be an important consideration to some customers. Thursday, June 11, AM.

I wonder how this works now, I am sure they are still caching programs to speed up performance? Is it built into the kernel? Sunday, August 16, AM. I'm just upgraded to R2 and Superfetch disappeared. Also, applications are taking a little longer to load up. Laptop seems not as smooth as it used be. Startups also take a bit longer now. Might end up going to Windows 7.

Monday, August 17, AM. Your slowness may be for a number of reasons, the least of which is fragmentation. I happen to think that caching is still going on, as I have tried to watch the memory consumption on the machine and it seems to point to caching.

However, without having a test environment where I can turn something on or off I am not sure. I wish someone could explain how this works now in R2. Windows Server has needs to scaling and performance way beyond our needs so I trust it's a decent solution - but I would like to understand it.

Any replies to what the story is with Superfetch and Server R2???? Saturday, August 22, PM. RTM is out - we should be able to find out something about how this works? A missing service like Superfetch is a big deal especially when it focuses on memory management and pre-loading of apps, etc. I for one would like to know what's new in this area of R2 before major commitments are made to using the product, I am sure others would like to know also.
