and more. Also, the computer booting and shutting down takes more time with disk fragmentation. One of the ways to improve system performance is to upgrade RAM. When a computer does not have enough RAM to use, it has set up a virtual memory file. The virtual memory file is space on the hard drive the computer makes to treat as RAM. Also, with RAM being an electronic system as opposed to the mechanical hard disk, it takes more time for data transfer to happen between the RAM and hard drive
