Stuff I won't need again. It is good that you've found a RAM Disk helpful. In an attempt to get pages(even those that previously took a long while to load) , I most often also; force the browser to not load any images(and only on those pages that I wish/need to view them, do load those manually) , as well as setting the cache memory down to zero, and do normally more than not do find that having Java, Javascripts and CSS disabled meaning even faster and cleaner surfin', and sometimes when a Google search return'd page's link is reluctant to load quick, I quickly stop it's load, backup, and then proceed with Google's cache'd fast link. Of course, with many of the pages nowadayz being sloppily coded and/or M$/gates/Doze specific, the mentioned fast link is often found to be the fastest workaround path. And having no hated popups is most certainly a blessing. HTHs
