The last time I really bothered to compare memory capacities was in 2007 when DDR2 was all the rage.
With 16GB of memory installed the workload took 290 seconds.
Surprisingly, with just 8GB of RAM the encoding time wasn’t greatly impacted, now taking 300 seconds.
Doubling the dictionary size to 64MB requires 3.1GB and 128MB requires 6.1GB.
The more data that needs to be loaded onto the SSD the slower the system becomes.
