Seems to me that this somewhat defeats the purpose of the swapfile, and may be less effective than eliminating the swapfile altogether with this much RAM.
Unless there is a problem with the OS (despite warnings) not having any swapfile defined. If this is the case, that the ramdisk is just a way of getting around this OS shortcoming, at the price of some performance and capacity (compared to no swapfile). -----Original Message----- From: Brian Guralnick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 3:26 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] Surprising performance increase with protel.. <snip> I also found a way to get your system to perform even better, take a look at this web site.
