Firefox â€" Use memory cache instead of disk cache Description: If you use Firefox, there’s a way to write cached files to RAM instead of the hard disk. This is not only faster, but will significantly reduce writes to the SSD while using the browser. Instructions: Open Firefox -> Type about:config into the address bar -> Enter -> double-click browser.cache.disk.enable to set the value to False -> Right-Click anywhere -> New -> Integer -> Preference Name "disk.cache.memory.capacity" -> value memory size in KB. Enter 32768 for 32MB, 65536 for 64MB, 131072 for 128MB, etc. -> restart Firefox |

On a personal computer I don't think I would trade RAM for RAM Disk. Another example of people trying to override and out do what the OS is designed to do and usually not as well. It is like PAE to use more than 4GB on 32bit OS. They just don't work on any standard applications, they in the long run ****** overall performance. And also disabling pagefile does not improve performance on any of the current Windows OS. |
