Speed up Minecraft Modpack loading?

[Guest]

It's using multimc. I do plan on getting an SSD pretty soon, but until then and in addition I was wondering if anyone had tips on speeding up launch. Right now it takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes which is ridiculous. In the spoiler below is a modlist, do any of these slow the game down dramatically? I'm using a sphax 128x texture pack in addition.

see if you can defrag your hard drive, it might help.

[Fulgrim]

Select the game's process in task manager, and change the priority to high?

 

You could try using OptiFine - no experience with it myself, but i've seen it mentioned a few times. Not sure if it'd help much with loading though. The only way to boost that is by getting an Intel chip and OC'ing it, and an SSD.

[TheKDub]

perhaps load it into a ramdisk and have it execute from that, then unload from it when done playing?

[zlolslavez]

anyway to physically make your hdd read faster will make mods boost faster, whether that'd be getting an ssd or defragmenting.

I do that regularly, not much difference.

Using optifine, although a new version has since been released. I've tried looking for the priority thing and can't find it in 8.1

Hmm maybe, I don't have any ramdisk software or anything though

ramdisks dont help minecraft already tried, im pretty sure it loads the game into ram already.

I defrag regularly, how much do you think an ssd will improve upon my launch speed? I'm gonna be getting one soon

optifine is an in-game sort of thing

smoothly renders the game and offers better optimization due to the shit java code that powers it

SSD will be a huge improvement

I load 200+mod modpacks in 30-60 seconds

Damn thats nice. You also do have a much better system then me but  I think I have about 100 mods, so it should be similar times

Theoretically as fast as the speed improvement , but that would probably be like 5x faster.

you can get a super cheap ssd say a 16gb one just for minecraft, be the difference between night and day and only cost around 5 beers (I find pricing things in beers makes it easier to understand!)
