I think if you had millions of girlfriends you would be broke :) *lol* and your memory would wear off because of too many write attempts from millions of girlfriends. :)))

It is a good analogy, obviously if you had millions of girlfriends it would take more memory :)
Memory in both cases would still be faster, anything loaded in memory will always be faster, anything accessing a harddrive will almost always be the bottleneck compard to loading from memory.

Its like saying that example B is faster than example A in the following scenario:
A) You need to call your girlfriend. You know her number, so you dial it and talk to her.
B) You need to call your girlfriend, You don't know her number so you call your secretary and ask her to look it up in the phone book. Your secretary looks up the number, calls you back and give it to you, then you call your girlfriend.
Which do you thing is faster?? Bzzzt. WRONG ANSWER. Just because the phone book has a great, wonderfully efficient index, and your secretary is very good at using it, doesn't mean that it's faster than having the number in your own head....
... and what if you had _millions_ of girlfriends :-D
Yes. Like all analogies it not perfect, but it does illistrate the point we were talking about.
