NVME consumption when creating one plot; #871

NVME consumption when creating one plot; => 860 gb; not 75% less. Why is that? Thank you

My understanding is that the "75%" refers to the reduction of writes to tmp when you provide a tmp2. 25% of writes go to tmp and 75% go to tmp2 when you specify it. If you use a ramdisk for tmp2 then you end up with 75% less writes to an NVMe (than regular madmax). I don't know about the total writes, I figured they were roughly similar to chiapos, but... maybe someone else has checked.
