I remember a time when mounting an image didn't take so long, I'm still using the same SSD as always, and swear it used to be multiple times quicker.

I will second that. I have a very fast system with Intel i7 4Ghz 32GB memory and Samsung Pro960 NVMe. Loading a new ISO takes 14 minutes and doing a build with 600 items takes 2-3 hours. Also, there should be a way to instantly start off with the already extracted image. Loading from folders takes forever. Also, when I work with this program I literally have to set the entire day aside for it.

Is there anything I can do to improve the speed?

use faster HDD/SSD on mine the loading take only 1around 1 minute The .iso is locating on an HDD 5400 with an internal SSD and the Winreducucer stull on an SSD
see my signature

Cheers

Hi scottallthefriends,
Hi dcol,

there must be another problem with your systems, your software or iso you are using.
I still use a 4.5 year old system (i7-3930K, Samsung 840 Pro) with WinReducer EX-100.

Here are my times, which must be faster on current systems...

mounting iso: 03m00s
integrate updates: 13m20s
removing 565 components: 16m41s
finalizing, save iso, unmount: 09:40s

total: 42m41s

i can confirm that, i remove more than 700 components (i think nearly 800) and the whole process from extracting my iso till saving in a wim file takes like 30- 40 min

EDIT: but i dont use any antivius or firefall tools which could block the process (never used such tool in the last 10 years ! )

Well, I don't know how you guys get those speeds. I am running the fastest SSD on the market with measured 2700MB/s reads and 2000MB/s writes. I have the ISO and the WR files on it. Last ISO load took 16 minutes and did a build with 186 items which took 88 minutes. I watched the Performance in Task Manager and Disk and Memory max was 10% and CPU max was 30%. Running an i7-7700 at 4Ghz. Any ideas what could cause this slowness? Everything else seems to run fine. Just ran NTlite and the load was under 2 minutes and a similar build with ISO creation took under 3 minutes.

What I can add is I disable antivirus and search indexer

Already done. Since I use SSD, indexing is always disabled.
I have dramatically increased the speeds by increasing the priority of the program to high. Load is now under 2 minutes and a 250 item build is under 20 minutes.
I think the issue has something to do with Windows 10 process priority allocations.

I see that increasing prozess priority helps you, but it´s not the source of your problem.
You see that my hardware is much older and slower than yours, but my reducing times are good and I never changed any priority.

True. Antivirus and search indexing and many others not always your friend. You should know how and when disable it.
Regards.
Ps. Maybe Winter... put any text comment about this into program? \o/

caphp, last night I got a new Windows update which brought my version to 1703.15063.674. Now WR seems to run good in normal mode, so maybe MS fixed it. LOL
I always turn off indexing when using SSD, and keep anti-virus to the bare minimum. I never use third party AV like AVG or McAfee type products.

Hello guys,

Very interesting discussion for many people Smile

I updated Dism with RS3 version, in EX-100 v1.9.0.0, and the result is a much faster mounting process, at the least this is my impresssion Wink

Hello,

interesting, but with version 1.9.0.0 I'm facing very slow mount. 40minutes when mounting 1709 x64 Windows version. With 1.8.2.0, mounting is done in  cca 5minutes.

AntiVirus disabled, indexing disabled. Checked on two identical machines with Windows 10 version 1607 and the same slowlyness...hmmm.

Anybody else with same problems?

TNX

Hello,

Seems really too long, there's something not related to WinReducer ... have you updated your system with the latest cumulative updates (Build 14393.1794) or checked for newer storage drivers ?

If you're using an SSD this updates solves an issue : "Improved M.2 NVMe SSD throughput when the queue size increases."

Hello, tnx for quick replay winterstorm2050!

Yes, I tried on M.2 NVMe 256GB SSD, but mounting of W10 RS3 x64 was still very slow (Winreducer running on old reduced Windows 1607 version).

However I installed latest W10 v1709 PRO (not reduced) on virtual machine and woila, latest Winreducer 1.9.1.0 mounted Windows in about 15 minutes. Smile So I guess it is really something wrong with my existing unupdated and reduced version of Windows.

@novator are you saying you execute winreducer Under a virtual machine not directly Under your running Windows?

Yes, it looks like it also works fine in virtual environment. A litle slower but this is because lower amount of memory and CPU cores assigned to virtual machine... probabily.

PS.: Unmount is also fast in virtual environment.
