Actually this came up once before, and we had the user build a RAM drive and load his config directory in there then mount that in place of the real config directory. It worked like a charm. All the database accesses, rebuilds, etc took place in RAM rather than on disk. You can imagine that this was much faster. BTW: just to be safe, he backs up the RAM drive hourly (I think...)
