Six of one, half dozen of the other. :-) That's essentially what I'm doing with a ram disk: preloading textfile objects into memory. The nice thing about it, though, is that your Pd object doesn't have to care - it all looks like a filesytem, whether its from ram disk or hard disk, so you can use both/either according to your needs.
