Whether you use ramdisks or not, you can increase harddisk performance
by enabling the 'noatime' option in /etc/fstab. Whenever you read a
file, you system also performs a writing operation, to store the time
of last access. Disable this by opening /etc/fstab, look for you root
filesystem, and change where it says 'defaults' to 'defaults,noatime',
then reboot and enjoy faster computing.
WARNING!
I think some things (notably source control) depend on atime so be
careful.
Cheers,
Wol
