Advantages: Much faster for patches near the top of a repo, a bit faster for patches further down.
Disadvantages: Uses more memory (about 50% more for examining a patch about halfway down the darcs repo). Also, when I was checking the above, it turns out there's a bug in it somewhere (looking at the intial import patch (and probably others) gives "Error moving ./Autoconf.lhs.in to ./Autoconf.lhs" when --store-in-memory is used) which I'll look into when I'm not so busy. So for now, don't apply it.
