XPe performance on CF with and without swap space

[Tom Schmidt]

I am interested if anyone has any information on the relative speed of an XPe system that uses CF for its boot device. Once booted and running is it as fast as a system that uses a HD? Is there much performance loss in not using a swap file?

There is no good answer to your first question related to running XPe speed
from CF. It depend solely on how you develop XPe.

Is there much performance loss in not using a swap file?

Having swap file creates performance loss.
Not having it remove this issue completely. New issue you will have is will
your programs work on amount of RAM you have.

Good to know about the swap file. I will have to test that out. Mostly it
would be rich media stuff, like MPEG2 decoding and such. Doesn't use the OS
much and the applications are usually memory resident once started or are
service based. I am still learning the XPe development process so was just
trying to get a feel for it before rolling out an image....
