Additionally if I MD5SUM the data directory before starting Renegade they all load quickly on the first cycle, for the same reason.


Can you do that in windows? Sounds like a linuxish thing.


MD5UM is available on most OS'es including windows.
However the critical part is just to make sure all of the files are read which brings them into cache, MD5SUM was just a handy program that does this.


"MD5Sums calculates the MD5 message digest for one or more files (includes a percent done display for large files). By comparing the MD5 digest of a file to a value supplied by the original sender, you can make sure that files you download are free from damage and tampering. MD5 values are frequently supplied along with downloadable files. (Optimized implementation). "

How does this make the maps load faster?
