Long pauses

I have this wild theory that save times may drastically improve if you were to, say, allocate about 100 MBs for a RAMdisk and use a RAMdisk to save to, since then it will not be thrashing to disk.
Since you are way "More Awesome Than All of Us", could you please tell us how to accomplish this? 100 MB is nothing and it would sure improve things!
J. M. Pescado:
It's a wild theory. I haven't pursued any practical implementations or how one would go about arranging such a thing.

I've been having the occasional random freezes. They tend to show up when I play for 2-3 hours without saving. I also tend to use streaming audio so I can listen to my talk radio station while I play. I don't know if it's related but yesterday when my internet became unavailable for a few seconds, my game slowed way down to almost a dead stop, then went back to normal when the internet reconnected. I shall talk to my Personal Computer Geek about the issue.
Since the Geek and I have been debating the merits of a new video card for my computer (the Geek--it's fine; Me--need a new one), I shall show him this thread.
Kitbug:
This might be pure coincidence... But usually my game just stops (things move, but time is stopped, the sims don't move, plumbob spins, etc.) fairly often. Like say once every few hours (or more). I've been playing for hours today, and I've only had it happen once, early this morning. At the time I'd been playing the household for like a sim week. Since then (pure coincidentally), I've only been playing households for like three or four days, tops. I'm wondering if maybe switching houses more helps with this problem...
Inge:
Last time I was getting frequent freeze-ups I decided to try rebooting my computer and it really helped. Don't know why but it's worth trying maybe.
