In the Rajeev Nagar’s book there is a description that the VMM (Virtual
Memory Manager) has a working thread that will zero free pages before they
can be reused. This is due to C2 level security requirement (from the book).
Is this still true (for NT Version >= 4.0)?
If yes, is there a possibility to tell VMM to stop “zero paging” thread, if
I’m not interested in C2 level security and I just want NT to “run faster”?

NT VMM and Zeroing pagesYou cannot stop this thread.
It does not consume any CPU time since it has low priority and runs only if the OS has nothing more serious to do.
