Hi there,
Recently stumbled upon this article which may be of some interest to you performance seekers.

On first look it seems like a good way to improve the performance of AutoCAD, and hopefully reduce fatal error or at least recover from them quicker. I had recently suggested an upgrade to the machines by putting our autodesk software on SSD's but I'm hesitant to follow this up due to the read/write limitations SSD's currently suffer from.
So my real question here is, has anyone used this method, or experimented with it before i pour many hours into what could be a waste of time? I'm already conducting a study on the SSD's improvement to system libraries and application start up.
