Dailies and other dismal failures

Hmm… so if RAM has little to do with loading times, how come when I removed 4gb of RAM (from an 8gb RAM laptop) did my loading times treble/quadruple? I don’t mean to sound sceptic or sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious.
Removing half your RAM probably caused more windows pagefile (“virtual memory”) access
Huh. I had forgotten about virtual memory. That feature(?) is almost never necessary these days, and if you do need it something has almost certainly gone wrong. That would increase load times though, and reduce the performance of other parts of the system as non-GW2 files are paged out.
OP, when you get a chance to post your HDD benchmark, could you also post your RAM?
Both of those components are both easy and cheap to upgrade, so hopefully that’s what’s wrong.
