G'day John,
Nice to hear from you, and as always good advice.
The unwanted stay in access to Trainz had caused a 'corporate memory' loss.
Posting above almost immediately triggered my synapses with recall of some work I did on this subject back in early TRS2009 beta testing.
At that time I had multiple HDDs and SSDs in the Beast that I set to 1 x RAM but collectively gave me about 1024GB pagefile with any hard faults handled by the first 32GB pagefile. Back in those days there was little written about Windows page files. NOW there is a very good writeup.
Yesterday I had increased my sole C:/ drive pagefile to 16GB from the default ~5GB, and today as I read your post I was just about to increase to 96GB based on the article.
NZ has just dropped to Level 1 lockdown rules for Wellington and most of the country, although Auckland is still at Level 2 until Monday.
The sky is blue, the sun is warm on my skin, the wind a mere zephyr;
The morning rush hour is over so not too many people on the pavements;
My cupboards are bare and I needed to go shopping, and we can;
My pension arrived in my bank account on time and so a big sigh of relief.
I'm home again after my 2.5km round trip on foot.
Now for the luxurious aroma and sensation of a cup of coffee accompanied by a blueberry bran muffin.
My apologies, I digress. 'And now to the forum' as Hughie Greene Brit Comedian used to say.
And some more sleuthing with version 111069. Hope there is a new version soon.
