Upload Read-ahead

There is a parameter to increase the performance of file uploads.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

   SYSTEM\

       CurrentControlSet\

           Services\

               W3SVC\

                   Parameters\

                       UploadReadAhead

You may need to add this parameter to the registry.

Select the Parameters directory, and then select "Edit" and "Add Value...". Enter the Value Name exactly as "UploadReadAhead", and set the type to REG_DWORD. After clicking OK, another dialog box will permit you to set the initial value.

If you anticipate large uploads, set an appropriately large value. This will increase the speed of the upload, but use more physical memory.
