juliusmall Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi everybody, maybe you go to find useful I am making a map in Map Info. Huge, a lot of layers, included contours at 5 m. I am using what I think it is a strong laptop. I7, 16 GB memory, a SSD disk. But MapInfo is still hanging often, meaning when I select a contour I must expect time to time over 10 seconds to fulfil the command. Same for redrawing and others. I just install software, PrimoCache. It is doing something like an extra cache for the disks, outside of windows normal buffers. Everything is working faster now included other jobs. Mapinfo especially. The software is a shareware with a generous trial, 90days. Maybe will be useful; also for other GIS Regards www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators EmperoR Posted February 20, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 this is beta software with trial keys can be extended, use it while its available : download installer : http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/download.html extended keys : http://www.romexsoftware.com/bbs2/en-us/viewtopic.php?f=32&p=5866 I dont know bout this one, but there are many cache software out there with same capability, so this kind of software not only work for gis software but have same effect with all software regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahmansunbeam Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Try RAMDisk if you have spare RAM in the system. It has a free version. http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk fortunately my laptop has a tiny SSD too ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabersan Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 SSD HDD is definitely the best choose to have good performance instead of using App or USB Key to boost cache or else in your Computer / Laptop. darksabersan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
