Thank you for your Ram/Cpu saving guide! I managed it to let my pi3 booting up retropie in under 10 seconds

Impressive

wooooouch !!! how many systems and how many roms for each system... ? this is very slowing down boot time, like the more (roms), the less (speed)

[Damazeltov]

Currently I have 7 Systems and around 200 Roms with ~15Gb. I dont know how to edit my post to make the youtube video visible

How much time was it taking before ? Just to see how you saved

Without any optimization ~20sec

So you save 50% loading time... twice faster wow

I think most improvements are removing the waiting for lan, disable terminal boot and disable of the retropie loading screen!

It’s a combination of all the stuff... by default linux always swap non important data so swapiness will make the boot faster, also, at boot you are loading many stuffs that needs logging, putting all this to ram directly improves boot time also...
Desactivating unneeded services like samba make system load faster, because you load less, but also because you don’t have to initialize stuffs like rom directory sharing over network...

All the settings helps...

I didn‘t implement all the sd/IO write stuff. Just overclock the sd card.
