Amiga OS 3.9 and chip ram?

[AmigaPixel]

Does Amiga OS 3.9 handle the chip ram a little better than previous OS versions? Does it maybe move some basic display functions in fast ram?  

Right now I am still using 2.1 on my A2000 which has 1 meg chip ram, and I have run into a problem of too many files in one of my folders. I run out of chip ram before I can view all the files and Workbench locks up. It has old animation frames I need to get out. Perhaps using the shell interface would help, I haven't used it in years. :-)

But with the right patches all AmigaOS can reduce the amount of chip RAM used by icons.

For the time being Use Workbench menu option to switch from Icons to name? Reduce the amount of buffers on your hard drive?

 Hi, yes I have an 030 accelerator clocked at 50mhz and 16 megs of ram. I think I already switched to name but i will double check. Which patches would you recomend?
