Suppose I have a fat mac with two disks and run an application, say
MacWrite. Why is it that after I exit the application, the finder
insists on spinning both disks to find out what's on them, rather than
remembering? Surely a fat mac has enough memory to run a
moderate-sized application and keep the desk-top images in memory.
This is particularly annoying when running a ram disk, since if you
have any disks in the drives, exiting to the finder is slow again
because the finder insists on reading both disks.
