Newer mod back ported from Starfield. Helps the game engine use more RAM and not check the disc so often, supposed to trade increased RAM requirements for significant performance gains on HDD and lesser but noticeable gains on SDDs. Discussion seems that you shouldn't use without 16GBs of RAM minimum, though might need more if you have a heavy load order and/or big textures eating into your RAM.

I'm not sure if this is going to be a new "standard" mod to include in nearly all load orders or not. Figured I'd toss it out for discussion.

One side effect that I have heard reported from others is that it decreases your available disk space. This is probably therefore more useful for hdd users than ssd users. Definitely seems to be more system dependent, so I don't think it is a good addition for everyone.

Optimially DCE requires having 32gb of memory or more, which makes best use of the mod.
