It's all relative to function of application/OS, the hardware being =
used, etc...

Is increasing the cluster size (512k to 4096k for example) on a Volume =
that resides on a RAID subsystems that is setup for 64k-128k block going =
to make a noticable difference?  Probably not.

Using a 4k cluster size for your AD Database, and 8k for cluster size =
for the log files can improve performance on a RAID 5 subsystem =
(write-thru enabled).  10 users, no improvement.  But for a 1000 users, =
yes.

Some tweaks, optimizations are not noticable until the system/subsystems =
limits are pushed.

On cluster size, someone mentioned on another list that by changing the
size, wouldn't make a noticeable difference one way or another, is this
true? The guy changed them anyway and things seem to have basically =
stayed
the same. Maybe it's because he didn't do the things you listed?
