what causes certain games to severely drop fps for a few seconds?
Certain games such as the re4 remake and stray, will randomly drop to 5 fps for a few seconds, then jump back up to 30-40 fps. These games normally run fine at 40fps but I'm not sure what causes the drops.

If anyone hasn't seen them, software engineer CryoByte33 delves into such performance issues and provides some utilities to help mitigate them:

I've seen ppl talk about that software before but I also saw ppl saying that causes more problems than it's worth. I've been skeptical to try it out.
No harm in trying it out, none of the changes are permanent. I think it's good, even just the swap increase is good as it alleviates memory pressure.
