I once tested RamDisk to run more than 60% faster when you load all data into RAM with http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php. RamDisk virtual mappes your RAM (you set the size) as it was a harddisk drev. So whatever you copy to the disk goes completely into RAM.
Handling MapInfo tabels often result in temporary files that eat up RAM, so you could also issue the command in the mapBasic window: Set MYTABLE FastEdit On Undo Off. If you use MapInfo data on a RamDisk you should always use this command not to run out of memory.

We have an mbx that gives a percentage of transect per vegetation polygon for the total length of the transect. The trouble is that it took 2 days just to run 7 polygons. We both have a 1.5 G of RAM and yet it only uses 500 Megs while running the mbx. He believes that someone posted a solution to edit the hyper text or string so the RAM is accessed wholly. I can't seem to find anything in the archives, any suggestions? The mbx takes a transect, splits it by polygon, the whole transect is measured as Cartesian length and each split portion is measured and then a percentage per polygon is calculated without having anything mapped. Maybe it is the programming, I don't know.
