Why is my computer hiccuping every few seconds?
f0dder:
Hmm...seems like turning off session restore in firefox (using the about:config area) did the trick. We'll see.-superboyac (February 08, 2011, 08:57 PM)

Session restore regularly dumps your session info to it's backing store. The sqlite3 databases used by FF tends to be fragmented (internally as well as externally - so you need to both "VACUUM" the databases (there are tools for this) as well as defragment the file).
Personally I moved all my firefox profile & session stuff to a ramdisk to avoid the hiccups.

That wasn't a joke! Seriously, what is it, and more importantly, how do you move something to it? f0dder threw that out there like everyone knows, but I have no idea how to do this. Cmon man, don't be a tease! Give us the secret, baby!
4wd:
We had a discussion about ramdisksw back here.
A RAM disk or RAM drive is a block of RAM (primary storage or volatile memory) that a computer's software is treating as if the memory were a disk drive (secondary storage). It is sometimes referred to as a "virtual RAM drive" or "software RAM drive" to distinguish it from a "hardware RAM drive" that uses separate hardware containing RAM, which is a type of solid-state drive.
