unless that preference gets saved into the media file (so when it's loaded again the same option is saved), setting each individual clip to Direct from Disk can be really tedious when you don't have a 'defined' media set at every gig.
for shows i customize/personalize what clips i'm playing, and that invariably leads to dragging selections of 16 clips to the slots, switching banks, and repeating.. every time, every show I would need to then click on each of my individual clips and set this preference, which is then lost the next time i attempt to drag the clip in from Finder..
ideally a setting in the preferences with the 3 options in a dropdown would suffice and save a lot of time. choose which method of playback you want for clips that are imported into the slots.. now it picks RAM pre-load for me, and gives me crappy performance because of it.
i personally never want my clips set to RAM pre-load.. just a waste when I've got a SSD

"When imported, a media is stored in memory when its size is less than:" 0 MB
"When opening a new project, maximum preload memory size:" 0 MB
Voila, everything is direct from disk!

Playback is instantaneous when clips are clicked (no delay like Ram pre-load) but every single time the loop hits the end and starts over the video freezes for a second.
I can overcome the freezing by clicking on the ram-preload option or by creating a ram disk and loading my media to it instead of my RAID 0 SSD setup.. which seems odd as I've got more than enough disk speed to playback 1 clip looping.
These are 1080p clips, but size doesn't seem to even be an issue. I get the freezing on a 65mb file just as much as I do on a 400mb file..
HAP seems to make this more noticeable, if I convert HAP clips that are freezing to PhotoJPEG there's a slight freeze..
PhotoJPEG takes up more CPU though, so there's drawbacks to using it vs HAP (Using GTX780 with 6GB VRAM - so I'd like to use the GPU as much as possible).
All of these clips playback 100% problem free in CoGe regardless of HAP, PhotoJPEG, small, big doesn't matter.. Wish modul8 could do the same lol
