Then I tried dismounting the RAM disk loaded from an image file, preventing it to be mounted on startup no dice. Nope, that didn't work wermgr.exe keeps popping up on Task Manager, thus kept stealing focus on any open window. So then I stopped awealloc service, then uninstalled ImDisk, then restarted my laptop.

It then made any window I currently open loses focus every few seconds on the next restart when I wanted to test its auto-mount capability.Īpparently, something made wermgr.exe process keeps popping up on Task Manager it's Windows Problem Reporting, part of the Windows Error Reporting Service.Īt first, I thought it was because I haven't uninstalled ImDisk. The app worked fine, until it had to auto-mount the RAM disks on startup. Just tested SoftPerfect, and it kinda left a sour taste for me. Much more ideal would be to push the run application to memory, if enough memory (yes, I mean whole 500GB game/software, if you have to) to make the load from ram to ram. Running would work faster while low priority applications on background (if not prioritized evenly) would be pushed to paging. Ideally if you have enough pagefile on fast space on situation large amount of ram is reserved it would still not move the fast data on it first and your application you are Would mean slowing down the memory operation by at least few times. Idea that you have an ramdrive and you page to it is kinda unusable since you would fill the existing memory faster and push to paging faster aka loop pass to ramdrive which

Well, if there's no pagefile windows (any since vista) will reserve still 256MB for paging (you can check docs and see this is the case) regular Windows 7 boxes uses aboutġ6MB of pagefile total with less than 75% of ram used 4GB reference same with above 4GB until 75% is filled when it is it pushed rest of needed memory to paging, so, the
You might be interested in Raymond's Intel results as well and he compared a lot more apps If I was using RAMDisk Enterprise or one of the other faster RAMdisks, it would no doubt load somewhat faster and Intel users should find it even more so but IMDisk awealloc suits me best at the moment. I would have expected a bigger improvement in all stages really, as the RAMDisk (IMdisk awealloc) is around 13x and 29x faster for Seq and 512k reads and 290x and 182x faster for 4k and 4k QD32 reads. So Launcher and the final stage go about three times quicker, whilst there's not much difference in the second and third stages, which total 35s and 41s for RAMdisk and HDD respectively, so I wonder what's going on during these? I did a test loading DCS World and this is what I found.įrom my HDD, it's about 25s for Launcher to load, 7s for the DCS box to appear after starting an Instant Mission, 34s before the black screen and about 96s before BS2 is ready.įrom my RAMDisk it takes about 9s for Launcher to load, 5s for the DCS box to appear after starting an Instant Mission, 30s before it changes to the black screen and about another 30s before BS2 is ready. Yeah, unless the game needs to stream data faster than the HDD can handle, the actual gameplay isn't going to feel any different but as you've found, loading between maps, etc will be quicker.
