The random-access speed of hard disk drives hasn't changed much over the years. It's about 3MB/second now, and unless I'm mistaken, that's what it's been for 20+ years now.
RAM capacity got bigger over the years and so did #HDD capacity, but HDD random-access speed didn't.
This is a serious problem. You have 16GB of RAM, but it'll take a long time to load that much from files scattered around the disk.
Which is why we're all using an #SSD now: it can fill your 16GB of RAM much more quickly.
