I’m not sure you can stop it, you can clean your project folder every once and a while by removing your autobackup data. You can create your project on your HDD while keep the engine on the SSD, that’s what I’m doing. Also in the launcher’s settings you can change you vault directory to you HDD.

Not by much. Also note that loading time might vary depending on the size of your project, and whether you are upgrading your project to a newer engine version
