It would be in better is all data was compacted not leaving those small gaps. Those gaps in the future would lead to fragmentation.
Was a misunderstanding of me than. I assume any random stuff since you said push the closest data to close that free block. If that would be the case it would be ineffective ^^

And meh, guess some sites are sprouting nonsense than about photoshop not working. I still got my pagefile enabled though, i disabled it for a short time before, but since i didn't notice a difference i just enabled it again to be on the save side.

But uhu since you mentioned not using swap files. Do you notice a performance gain? Or any advantage at all?
