Solve : relocating page file slow down the system performance?

Answer» <html><body><p>I've currently changed the page file(virtual <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/memory-11894" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEMORY">MEMORY</a>) from C drive to D drive intending to get the system performance improved. 'cause I know that virtual memory should be leased in the drive which is not accessed frequently.<br/>but, here I'm experiencing the system performance little reduced.<br/><br/>what is the actuality?<br/> Quote</p><blockquote>from <strong>C drive </strong>to <strong>D drive</strong> intending to get the system performance improved. 'cause I know that virtual memory should be leased in the <strong>drive which is not accessed frequently.</strong></blockquote> This may not be the case here because, unless you know there are two hard disks in your computer, Drives C and D are different Partitions on the same Hard Disk.<br/>I would bring it back to C drive so it wont have to keep accessing the D partition to save the Swap files.If Carbon is correct and you only have one physical hdd, leave the swap file on C:.<br/><br/>If you have two harddrives, place the swap file on the faster, least used drive. If you place the swap file on a non system drive (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/probably-1167177" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROBABLY">PROBABLY</a> your D:), I have read that you should leave a small swap file on the system drive.<br/><br/>For example, I have a 100 - 500MB swap on C:(system) and the main swap file on E:, 200 - 1536 MB.<br/><br/>Good luck!With today's processor <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/speeds-650188" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SPEEDS">SPEEDS</a>, playing with swap file location is absolutely not necessary.

Not to say that there isn't some measurable performance impact, but, over the years, I've tried the various, then current, 'optimizations' and never 'felt' any change.<br/><br/>HOWEVER, the psychological benefit of playing with something that MS says better to leave alone - "Priceless!" Quote<blockquote>HOWEVER, the psychological benefit of playing with something that MS says better to leave alone - "Priceless!"</blockquote> LOL.<br/><br/>I've read some article (I can't post any link), that with today's computers, moving swap file around may give you some milliseconds difference. Surely, not noticeable to any human.

The governing factor is the amount of RAM. Once PCs started shipping with 512 MB or more, swap file access speed became less of an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/issue-246830" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ISSUE">ISSUE</a>, bit it hasn't gone away.
