Too many disk I/O operations per second

[brianjojoray]

Used chia-monitor for a few days.
Find this monitor process had I/O reads above 500 miliions and increase 10k per second When I look at the win10 taskmgr.
It's a huge number for I/O reads.
I think it may be damage to disk.
Can you fixed it and reduce I/O operations by using cache?

Hey @brianjojoray, all I/O operations are caused by our SQLite history database and can be reduced by increasing the refresh intervals in the config.json. If you want to get rid of them completely, you could try to mount the SQLite database (history.db) into a ramdisk, which would eliminate all I/Os and would also make the queries a lot faster. The only drawback is that by doing this, you risk losing your entire history DB in case of a power outage.
