My computer is pretty fast, but I feel it may be getting slowed down by putting things in swap which would do better in RAM. I have 16 GB of ram, and even in conditions where only around 3 GB is used, the swap is already up around 500MB. I don't have the greatest understanding up how windows deals with memory and such (so correct me if I am wrong) but I think that performance would increase if that 500 MB of swap was put in RAM instead.
So my general question is how would I get windows to (force if need be) to favour RAM over its swap when putting stuff in memory.
Thanks
1Your computer is smarter than you are about where to put things, when. It uses the swap file when it can't use RAM; should you disable the swap file, you'll just get yourself some "out of memory" errors, not a faster computer. – Debra – 2014-04-27T17:06:13.350
