Especially with the 3.5 preview/beta update I’ve been seeing a lot of people say that the stuff CryoUtilities does is wack and doesn’t really work, and one dude even went as far as to call it a placebo in a post where I mentioned it.
Does stuff like the swap file and swappiness, amongst other things, really boost performance and all that? Or is it just a waste of time and (storage) space?
It does not increase performance as in a higher framerates. It does however increase your minimum framerates (1% lows) in some scenarios. It is more a minimum effort tweak to decrease the risk of stutter.
