Improved preallocation disk space performance when installing or updating content

Blimey. Took them long enough, though. It was pretty terrible, I was typically seeing only about 2% of the drive's actual throughput when it was pre-allocating; it was apparently worse on SSD.

I guess that's the problem when they distribute everything in a small number of monolithic archive files and a patch updates stuff in most of them. I thought at the time "I wonder if this is what'll happen when the zero-day patch lands". And it did.

So far CP77 is a bit... well, shooty. I got pwned even on easy. First impressions aren't that great.

J'aime le fromage.
