Maybe this should be a FAQ.  No, it's not a joke.  And yes it's useful.  How  
about if instead of calling it a Ramdisk we call it a memory lockin program.   
That means that whatever you put on the Ramdisk won't swap out.  I would love  
to put things like cc and ccp and compiled headers on a Ramdisk to speed up my  
compiles.
