Peter, Leland, Christof, Thanks for your feedback. It turns out that its quite easy to create and mount RAM disks under Linux. Recent versions of Windows do not include RAM disk utilities, but there appear to be some reasonably priced commercial RAM drive packages that we may look at. I say may because we are slowly migrating our ETL work to Linux.
The Linux mmap() and Windows ~equivalent MapViewOfFile are not appropriate for our specific task.
