The remaining memory will be used as a crazy fast file cache. As far as 5400rpm drives that may be true if it was just a linear read, but the real problem is latency.
- sqeaky 10y agoThe rest of the RAM could be used as a file cache, but it is a moot point. 100% CPU use on each of the 4/8 cores/threads. Nothing but more CPU horsepower will significantly speed that up.
- slededit 10y agoIf you look at a detailed graph of CPU usage you should see a pumping action as the CPU goes full bore and then stalls out waiting for data. Filling in those stalls is what gives you the extra performance.
- sqeaky 10y agoWhat is your preferred tool for gathering this kind of detailed data?
- slededit 10y agoOn windows It's WPR and WPA. In sure Linux/Mac has similar system wide profilers. WPA will give you detailed wait analysis.
- sqeaky 10y agoI don't have windows. I will google for "systemwide profilers". Thank you. I doubt this will change anything, (because the compilation time decreased as CPU time was added) but the information could be helpful in other situations.
