Mouse pull is enough really speeded up Windows

All we ever tried to speed up your computer, frantically jerking the mouse. Apparently, on the Windows 95 it really helped. Everything from the architecture of the operating system, multi-tasking.

Members Forum StackExchange suggestedWhat has caused this phenomenon. The fact that Windows 95 itself switches between tasks - is likely to make the operating system to work on weak equipment maximally responsive. If a user, for example, decided to copy the files, the system waited until the buffer is filled with background tasks and then process them all at once.

That is, until the program is in standby mode, it did not work. But the input and output tasks - such as movement mouse - the system is performed immediately. It turned out that when a user mouse twitched, he filled buffer events, and OS restarted loop. So it creates a sense that the program runs faster.

If the installation program takes an hour, the movements of the mouse process could be reduced by 15 minutes. In Windows 98 and later, multitasking architecture has changed, so the trick with the acceleration of the system stopped working.
