So, I just randomly downloaded some stuff in CKAN I've noticed that the "toggle crossfeed" option is gone on most parts where it should be. Is there any better way to find what causes this than enabling mods one-by one? Maybe it gets MM patched?

Well, looks like its my cpu and memory, probably? I'm 3 gens past you CPU-wise and still on DDR3. Haven't upgraded back then because intel was too costly and first gen ryzen performed poorly in Factorio, and today it's still about 1200$ to get a decent non-mainstream gaming (by "non-mainstream" I mean games like KSP, Factorio, DF, ONI and other CPU-hungry games that can't utilise many cores, pretty much limiting one to intel CPUs) cpu+mobo+memory combo...

What cpu and memory are you using?

I've re-did my tests today with only the stock game+dlc, placing an entire game folder on a RAM disk. All settings default, game starts in a 1280x720 window: From program launch to main menu. SSD (1 start): 70s SSD (2 start): 68s SSD (3 start): 68s RAM drive (1 start): 77s RAM drive (2 start): 69s RAM drive (3 start): 68s Looks like that either my SSD isn't the bottleneck or my ram disk gets swapped to this same SSD. Can someone with bigger RAM size test this?

The copying itself is almost instanteous, but has a long "wind-up" period when system goes through tons of small files (.cfg's, textures and whatnot). You can keep your saves on the physical HDD/SSD and that was actually what I did: I only moved GameData folder on the RAM disk by making a symbolic link to it from the game directory (and maybe that's why I didn't see any major improvement?) because my RAM size is insufficient to move an entire game there while leaving some ram to run it, the OS and other persistent software... Maybe the game writes somewhere else (cache?) during load and this is the main factor in loading time? So, instead of moving GameData to RAM I need to place that cache folder there? But, anyway, what are your loading time, guys? And how much mods do you have? I've mainly wanted to compare against others to see if this is typical or not...

I didn't say "no difference", but for a 10x difference in read speed, only a 15% decrease is not a major one. Yeah, I know, my game is currently installed on SSD, not an HDD. Well, looks like I have over 100 mods actually, now it's 138. My specs are: I7-4980HQ, 16gb ram, GTX1070, adata sx8200 ssd. I've played many heavily modded games before (factorio and skyrim, for example) and never had encountered such long loading times.

Hello. I've recently tried to put my KSP installation on a RAM drive, but, strangely, I didn't see any major improvements: ~9,5min loading time from (theoretically) ~30GB/s RAM disk vs ~11,7 when loading from 3GB/s SSD. Have I done something wrong in regards to whole RAM disk setup? Are loading times like these typical for ~100 mods KSP?

So, this mod doesn't work with latest ksp? I have the button visible in VAB, but clicking it does nothing. And there's some errors in the log:
