Startup-Sequence boot speedup

[mia]

just kidding, but I noticed that we can now do this with the ALL modifier on line 12 of 45.4 (28.5.2018)

C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV/Sys ALL

It shortens the command line but how does it speed up the processing?

It rather slows it down. The directories have to be created one by one anyway. With your command line it first has to recognise that ram:env does not yet exist. So it's at least one DOS call more than with all sub-directories specified explicitly.

Maybe because MakeDir only has to be loaded once?

Maybe you should look at the code before you suggest something?

Old: C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV RAM:ENV/Sys
New: C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV/Sys ALL

In both cases MakeDir is loaded only once.

Yeah, sorry, I stand corrected.

I don't actually use any 3.x systems since many years, and haven't seen 3.1.4 IRL.

This is in the 3.1.4 update - among other updates, the makedir command now supports creating folders recursively

I noticed that the default Startup-Sequence on the new 3.1.4 release doesn't take advantage of this yet

that's all.
