I am finding that when I utilize the full Upload
bandwidth of my PC to share files or for a web site,
interactive Internet browsing such as Internet Explorer
activity is extremely slow. This is because when the
user makes an interactive request through the Internet
browser, the TCP/IP and Ethernet transmit queue of
packets and frames within the PC is full and needs to
burn off several packets and frames before it reaches the
packet generated interactively through the browser.
Often all activity on the PC becomes sluggish.
Playing time clock limited time-critical interactive
Chess on sites like Yahoo through their Java Runtime
Engine results in losing time versus the Internet
opponent.
Currently broadband companies are cutting down on Upload
bandwidth for residential service.
My cable modem service has a 3 MBit/sec Download, with
256 Kbit/sec Upload -- now approximately an 11/1 ratio.
Microsoft needs to ensure in the next update of Windows
XP that Upload activity coming from certain user-
selectable applications/processes running on the PC
receives priority.
1) That is, there should be prioritization within the
Upload TCP/IP and UDP/IP network packet queues.
2) The Windows Task Manager/Processes tab right-click
menu should have 2 additional options:
a) Set Network Upload priority b) Set Network
Download Priority .
3) The installed Internet Browser should default to
having higher Network Upload priority.
4) The Windows Task Manager's displayed information
should contain more specificity on which application is
generating:
a) Network Upload Traffic,
b) Network Download Traffic,
c) Hard Disk Read Traffic,
d) Hard Disk Write Traffic
(I often hear the hard disk start to growl with
activity unexpectedly and have no idea which application
caused this -- could be a virus destroying or searching
through one's files).
5) All future Software Quality Assurance testing of
Windows releases should occur with a full Network Upload
queue where there are 1,000s of Internet Connections
opening and closing and where there may be 100 Internet
TCP/IP Socket connections open at one time (e.g. file
sharing Servers and file beinbg uploaded/downloaded).
The operating system must work properly with appropriate
responsiveness to interactive applications when there is
heavy Upload bandwidth consumption relative to the Upload
bandwidth provided and heavy Internet connection socket
consumption.
I usually find that even when the Internet Upload load
has been removed, the Windows XP system remains sluggish.
6) The Windows Task Manager/Processes tab should contain
information on how many Internet connection sockets a
process has open at any time.
It could be that some of these Internet connection
sockets remain open which could be slowing Windows XP
operation.
