I found this performance tweak that uses "Chunk"
Vcache:
Vcache is the Windows disk-caching virtual device driver. This is a very important part of Windows, as it provides excellent disk performance. Disable all your other disk-caching drivers if any (such as smartdrv). Windows, however, limits vcache from it's total potential. The following tweak will keep Vcache from taking up all your RAM, and being resized all the time.

Here's how to improve it. Type 'sysedit' in your 'start' , 'run' dialog box and go to system.ini . Look for '[vcache]' and add the following. 'MinFileCache' and 'MaxFileCache' should be the same ( about 25% of your RAM ) to avoid resizing 'ChunkSize' should generally be '512', but you can omit that one:

MinFileCache=
MaxFileCache=
ChunkSize=

Set to about 25% of your total RAM for best performance, i.e 2048 for 8Mb RAM, 4096 for 16Mb, 8192 for 32Mb... These are my settings ( I have 64Mb RAM )
[vcache]
MinFileCache=16384
MaxFileCache=16384
ChunkSize=512
