BSA versus Loose Files, small test

*movomo* · January 20, 2015

Recently one of our fellow members Ljacquard has brought a hot topic about BSA archives into Oblivion section. This has always been a hot issue in all Bethesda game communities, and will be so. Now that I want to keep setbody thread neat and clean, I started this thread to let folks continue the discussion.

Please respect the rule number 2 here.

Until now, BSA has been considered to be less efficient - because it's often compressed - and should only be used when there is no other option to resolve mod conflicts, or to make your mod installation a foolproof process so even an ape can imitate your instructions. Some people, however, question this common knowledge(or belief). Please read the link below before continuing on, in particular read the section 4.

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1354395-update-bsas-and-you/

This is about general file input/output operation in computer system. The point of the above article is that hard disk causes serious bottleneck phenomenon, effectively negating (or even outrivaling) the advantages of using uncompressed files = less cpu usage. Assuming following data transfer rates:

Harddisk-throughput: 20MB/s

Memory-throughput: 2000MB/s

zlib-throughput: 80MB/s

According to the calculation in the linked article, it is always beneficial to compress the resource as much as possible, because it will minimize the amount of data that has to be processed through the biggest and fattest bottleneck, your hard disk.

Moreover, the article is mentioning of zlib, but some algorithms such as lz4 are known to be faster than zlib. (And the linked post says zlib should be faster than any SSD)

By the way, Bethesda game communities aren't the only people that have interests in the compressed vs uncompressed file IO problem. R for example, or this.Their conclusion is, reading from compressed file (in-memory decompression) is advantageous when you will read it just once, but uncompressed files are better if you have to read it multiple times. That is because of the disk cache, or in Windows NT you can call it Windows file cache. Once-read files are cached in memory (which is naturally much fater than zlib or anything's decompress speed) and if requested later, Windows reads them from the cache, instead of reading from the disk.

Is it so? For science, and as we are in the Lab, I had done a small test. Firstly let me reveal my weakpoint, my hardwares:

* SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

-> my C drive, and my Oblivion is here. one of the cheapest SSDs on the planet. good SSD, but my mainboard is shit, I don't have SATA3 slot. So this poor SSD runs on SATA2.

* HDD: Seagate ST3500418AS 1.5TB

-> my E drive. a typical moderately-old 7200RPM hard disk, 500GB platter * 3. sequence read is about 120MB/s, iirc. Your hard disk shouldn't be worse than this.

* my system RAM is Gskill...er..shark something. but RAM performance doesn't matter much here, anyway I have 16GB and 4GB of them is being used as RAM disk, my system temp folder.

What I wanted to do was read some random data from the disk, both way(compressed/uncompressed). So I wrote a short python script. We will read raw binary data from the source, but will not write it or do anytying with the read data.

First, generate the list of all data files.

#!python3
#-*-coding:utf_8-*-

from os import path
import os

files = []

for stem, branches, leaves in os.walk('data_tls'):
    for leaf in leaves:
        ful_path = path.join(stem, leaf).replace('\\','/')
        files.append(ful_path)

with open('files.txt', 'w', encoding='utf_8') as f_1:
    for path_ in files:
        path_ += '\n'
        f_1.write(path_)

Then, process the data.

#!python3
#-*-coding:utf_8-*-

from os import path
import os
import time
import zipfile
# Low-level
#import zlib 

def read_loose_files(files):
    container = {}
    for path_ in files:
        with open(path_, 'rb') as f_in:
            data = f_in.read()
            container[path_] = data
    #
    return container

def read_zipfile_whole(files, zip_name):
    container = {}
    with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_name) as z_in:
        for path_ in files:
            #path_2 = path_.replace('\\', '/')
            data = z_in.read(path_)
            container[path_] = data
    #
    return container

def get_files(files_txt):
    files = []
    with open(files_txt, encoding='utf_8') as f:
        while True:
            path_ = f.readline()
            if len(path_) > 0:
                path_ = path_[:-1]
                files.append(path_)
            else:
                break
    #
    return tuple(files)

def write_data(path_, data):
    path_2 = path.join('verify', path_)
    dir_2 = path.dirname(path_2)
    if not path.exists(dir_2):
        os.makedirs(dir_2)
    with open(path_2, 'wb') as f_out:
        f_out.write(data)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    method = int(input('method (1/loose, 2/zip whole) = '))
    
    # Get the list of files
    files = get_files('files.txt')
    
    # performance test START
    time.perf_counter()
    if method == 1:
        container = read_loose_files(files)
    elif method == 2:
        container = read_zipfile_whole(files, 'data_tls.zip')
    # Display elapsed time in seconds (1)
    print(time.perf_counter())
    
#    #
#    # Verify data
#    for path_, data in container.items():
#        write_data(path_, data)
#    #
#    # Display elapsed time in seconds (2)
#    print(time.perf_counter())

    os.system('pause')

One important thing is that we have to flush(purge) the Windows file cache before each test. For that I used RAMMap.

See? Apparently I have roughly 1.9GB of cached data. I didn't do anything yet besides browsing internet. You can zero it using Empty->Empty Standby List command.

Test material:

* source data file: The Lost Spires data files. 3784 files, 483MB when loose, I compressed them using 7-zip, ZIP-deflated option. After compression it became 323MB.

When loose file, separate 3784 files will cause random access to my hard drive. It is what any hard disk is worst at. SSDs are much better at this kind of business.

Some terms here:

* cold boot: here cold boot means turn off the PC, wait for more than 20 seconds, turn on the PC, after entering Windows, wait for more than 5 miniutes to make it idle.

* cache: once the files are read they are automatically stored in system memory.

* flush: purging the Windows file cache. This should yield the same or very similar result with cold-rebooting the PC.

* HDD/SDD "L" or "z": "L" means loose file, "z" means zipfile.

Procedure:

1. cold boot PC.

2. run "cold-boot tests". This is the kind-of control group. Once this is done, they will be cached.

3. so the next run automatically becomes "cached test".

4. then purge the file cache using RAMMap, then run the "flushed test".

5. cold boot again, repeat. I ran 3 times.

* Order of the tests should not matter as they all are at separate locations, but just for the record.

cold boot -> cache -> flush

1: HDD L -> HDD z => SSD l -> SSD z

2: HDD z -> HDD l => SSD z -> SSD l

3: SSD L -> SSD z => HDD l -> HDD z

Now the results (in second):

cold boot
HDD L   92.5395 90.6946 93.7892
HDD z   5.4664  5.4246  5.4064
SSD L   3.7257  3.7292  3.7200
SSD z   5.1564  5.1884  5.1570

=> loose files in SSD was the best. zipfile in HDD was about 17 times faster than loose files in HDD.

after cached
HDD L   0.5387  0.5383  0.5439
HDD z   3.7878  3.7912  3.7899
SSD L   0.5418  0.5443  0.5425
SSD z   3.8041  3.7941  3.7983

=> loose files was 7 times faster when cached, regardless of being HDD or SSD.

after flushed
HDD L   88.6588 89.9364 96.7789
HDD z   5.4158  5.4082  5.4385
SSD L   3.5461  3.4610  3.5147
SSD z   5.1802  5.1620  5.1692

=> I think I can safely tell that RAMMap is working as intended.

So, reading from a compressed file is indeed fast. But unlike the linked post's estimation, zlib did not surpass SSD.

*My conclusions, and some unanswered questions:*

~~Buy SSD~~ nah, kidding.

Some say that unpacking BSAs improved their performance and stability. Some say otherwise. In my opinion, neither of them is lying or imagining; They are seeing one of the both sides of the same fact.

Several other important consderations must be made before making conclusions about this BSA/loose file problem. As my test isn't actually an in-game testing.

- which resource will be frequently used and which one will not be? If you are running Oblivion on your hard disk, this question may interest you. And to be most honest I do not know. I can only guess that things like common outfits, body assets, landscape/architecture assets will likely be loaded very often.

- my SSD is not doing its full potential, as stated above. your SSD may be a bit faster in reality.

- the script was written in python. and C or C++ functions are at times 10 times faster than python equivalent (although zlib's python implementation is in C).

- how much of cpu power is available and can be spared for loading resources in actual runtime? this matters because in-memory decompression is supposedly more resource intensive. and Oblivion is an old game (I'm kind of sad that these days it is considered to be an "old-school", but anyway), it will not utilize all available resource of your fancy hardware.

*So, some suggestions for TLDRs.

- If you have enough space in your SSD, I suggest moving Oblivion into it, and unpack BSAs. But hold on before re-packing every last resource you have into BSA even if you can't spare precious SSD space for a 50GB ugly old video game. For hard disk users, I think it needs some more discussion, as hard disk is still faster for some resources that are loaded frequently.

- I think we can assume that the more memory available to your system, the better loose files become. This is irrelevant to Oblivion 4GB patch thing. File caching is a feature of NTFS, not Oblivion.

*Symon* · January 20, 2015

An excellent analysis - more on it later, but first:-

Ljacquard said of BSAs: "every major and well-designed mod for Oblivion uses them". He quoted some of these mods elsewhere. One of them I unpacked very recently. I'm not going to name it as my aim isn't to cast aspersions at anyone, but here is what I found:-

1. Corrupt nifs. At least 70% of the many included Nifs had redundant nodes, some badly corrupt and very oversize (delete node rather than delete branch had been used liberally).

2. Redundant assets. Commonly used assets in the BSA with the usual path. If I'd have left the BSA alone, I'd have had two copies, one in the BSA! I deleted numerous textures I already had.

Exactly the sort of BSA that anyone would be well served by unpacking and throwing away.

However, let's now discuss 'perfect BSAs'.

For access timing, what we really need to look at is a typical case. What happens when really common files, say footfemale.dds are accessed? This is a file that is going to be in graphics memory pretty constantly I'd say. If not there, then in normal memory, if not there, well, what would happen?

If loose: Call to read from NTFS, let it load file, (let's hope it has mipmaps).

If in a BSA: Call to load NTFS to get BSA index (hopefully in memory but hey), offset along to find file, maybe read chunk of BSA, extract file. Let's hope the BSA isn't fragmented.

In other words, your typical windows case is the norm. You almost certainly don't want every asset in a BSA there and then. You want handfuls of the assets, something NTFS and Windows is good at providing. As you say "but uncompressed files are better if you have to read it multiple times". For read substitute access.

A BSA is NOT magic. It's a file archive/compression format, like 7zip, zip, tar or bz2.

When creating a good archive, you generally have a choice between access speed and compression. However, accessing a discreet file in any archive is slower than native file system access, because you have to do BOTH. A decent o/s does NOT distinguish between memory and disk, that's how they work. If something that is needed happens NOT to to be in memory you get a read fault while the process (or thread) pauses while the o/s goes and gets it. NTFS is a decent filesystem.

One common misconception (not necessarily by Ljacquard) seems to be that all BSAs are always in memory (no matter how big) and that all loose files are always on the disk and are getting read constantly every time they are needed. This just isn't so.

NTFS loads things effectively and quickly into memory. BSAs are an extra overhead that are used in addition to NTFS.

No where else in all my years have a ever found cases where an archive format was faster to access than a filesystem. Ask yourself this people, if BSAs were so fast, why aren't they being sold as a format to o/s vendors to use instead of their 'slow' filesystems, even if only for special cases? Why aren't other gaming companies using them? Beth would surely love to be paid by Microsoft that would adore the magic speed.

*movomo* · January 21, 2015

Yes, being used in "popular" mods does not make BSA's performance better, there are many other reasons to choose BSA. Besides, as you discovered there may be corrupt resources. (But thie is no problem if you unpack it then repack, if you ever need to.)

I certainly did not consider the size of the BSA archive, and memory issues you explained. Split files like loose files might make file caching more efficient. Thanks for the input.

*movomo* · January 21, 2015

Ok, what happens if the archive is very big?

1. Windows will give up caching it.

2. Windows will cache the whole archive, and will start paging older contents if runs out of memory.

3. Windows will cache a chunk of the archive, and start paging older stuff.

If BSA could cause more paging (maybe because it has to be loaded by bigger chunk), then it is probably more trouble than what is bargained for.

I'm not certain if BSA or not BSA is so important that it could affect gaming performance so hard on modern computers, but something tells me that I have to know.

Fienyx · January 22, 2015

Reading this makes me want to put my fresh install data back in and unpack all the BSA's. Same for the mods as I go. I'm very familiar with folder structure. Then the thought ran across my mind, if I did this, would that basically remove the need for archive invalidation? As I understand, archive invalidation makes sure the game uses the meshes and textures in the loose files instead of the BSA. Would this be feasible?

*Symon* · January 22, 2015

Yes, if you have no BSAs, you have no archives to invalidate. That said, as the bsa used there has one dummy asset, you aren't gaining much. (grin)

Fienyx · January 23, 2015

Well, gave it a try. Fresh install, just Oblivion and SI, unpacked the BSAs, worked fine. Added OBSE and various plugins, works fine. UOP's, run LODgen, no go. Just won't start after LODgen. I think It may be because LODgen gives warning that it can't find the BSAs. Was worth a shot to see though.

*gregathit* · January 23, 2015

In my humble opinion the vanilla assets should be left in the bsa files. While I did take the time to uncompress them, other than that, I left them be. I don't think you will notice much of a difference in speed which ever way you try it. From what limited testing I have done, the bottle neck comes more from the graphics end (when you spice up your games with high rez textures) through the CPU which is the real choke point more often than not.

Fienyx · January 23, 2015

yeah, just thought I would try. Was mostly killing time, as I was torn between 2 mods that should not affect each other but don't work together. Finally made a choice after 2 failed attempts at running with no BSAs. So now, I reinstall all my mods and start again. lol.

What is the best utility "clean" to open BSA files of Obli & Skyrim mods, please ?

***myuhinny*** · March 10, 2015

@Eikichi Onizuka

To open a BSA file you need a BSA unpacker I use FOMM (fallout mod manager) which has a built in BSA extractor to extract files from a BSA it works on fallout oblivion and skyrim BSA's. You can find FOMM on LL by prideslayer or you can download the one from the fallout 3/New Vegas section on the nexus.

When you extract stuff from the BSA to a folder they will be already set up in the correct folder paths so all you will have to do is place them where they need to be.

which version is better ?

this.. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59553/?

or

other this.. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/17895-fomm-custom-build-0141112/

which of the two FMMO is more secure, which has not crap insid, for not messed up the PC ? :-/

*gregathit* · March 10, 2015

Run the one from here. Prideslayer is a real wizard.

*fejeena* · March 10, 2015

Why not use the Oblivion Modmanager ? Why Fallout for Oblivion ?

( most times I also use the FOMM because my FOMM with 50 Mods opens faster as my OBMM with 200 Mods)

***myuhinny*** · March 10, 2015

I have OBMM FOMM and NMM installed on my computer when I right click a BSA and select open it opens with FOMM my OBMM only has BSA browser BSA creator and BSA un-corrupter under utilities but no BSA extractor unless it's under something else. I just use FOMM because that is what I first set it to for extracting BSA's for fallout NV.

*fejeena* · March 10, 2015

The OBMM BSA browser. opens the same window as the fallout BSA Extractor with "Previev" , "Extract" , "Extract All", "Sort"

*movomo* · March 10, 2015

Fallout BSA opener is much faster. FOMM is generally faster than OBMM.

Hmm... could that make NMM faster than FOMM? I never know. I don't care to use NMM ever since I tried one of the very early builds.

***myuhinny*** · March 10, 2015

The amount of shit they kept shoving into NMM I doubt it I stopped updating it a long time ago back when they kept breaking shit ever time they made a update to add another bell or whistle to it that you probably didn't need. The only thing I use NMM for is skyrim otherwise it's FOMM for fallout 3 and NV and OBMM for oblivion.

*fejeena* · March 10, 2015

Why all People use the NMM for Skyrim if they don't like it ? Why not the TES Modmanager ? it's like the FOMM.

OMods and BSA unpacker/creator

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5010/

It was the first and only MM I used for Skyrim ( when I played Skyrim two years ago)

*gregathit* · March 10, 2015

FOMM is not only faster to open BSA files, it is more robust in that it can open and extract all or just a few. Never use OBMM to extract things...it just takes too damn long.

varenne · March 11, 2015

The only tools for BSA extraction I've ever used are OBMM and BSA Commander, but yeah with 200+ MODs also I often dread starting OBMM. It's not that it takes long to open for me, but closing it is at snails pace.

Fienyx · July 25, 2015

I use BSA browser, pinned to my task bar. Just redid my LO. BC+OCR+full UL. As I was installing mods, I would extract all file from the BSA, and then delete it, except the vanilla 10 and the one from UOP-SI (no extraction, no deletion). Installed BC by hand, BSAs first, in order, then went through and installed the required loose files (did it this way just to be safe). I removed a total of 31 BSAs. I actually notice smoother game play, and about 5 more FPS. I have all distant view sliders maxed, distant land; buildings and trees on, int shadow 5, ext shadow 10, shadow filtering high, water reflections and ripples on, window reflections on and water and blood on high. I also tweaked a lot of random stuff in my oblivion ini that I couldn't find anything about online. In the waterfront district, which has a ton of stuff added from BC, I'm getting 15 FPS and not at a crawling pace. Did a non BSA extraction yesterday, had 10 FPS, and was barely moving. Running was a walking pace, and lots of crashes. Now, nice and smooth.

I honestly can't tell anyone what I all changed in the ini. I was in a sort of haze. Insomnia from MS pains. It was like I was possessed.

*Symon* · July 25, 2015

I removed a total of 31 BSAs. I actually notice smoother game play, and about 5 more FPS.

That's what I would expect. Glad to see someone else finding that dismantling BSAs is the way to go.

It probably depends on if you have a lot. Not sure how many is the tipping point, but figured with the amount I had, I would give it a go, after my first attempt earlier in this thread.

*A.J.* · July 27, 2015

This is a very interesting thread. Are these considerations about BSAs valid for FO and Skyrim too?

There's a Skyrim guide in my language, after installing all the mods (i.e. texture replacers) it shows how to package everything inside a BSA. Do you believe it's a nice move to do or not?
