I'm not looking for fast boot times, rather for snappy system
performance. Slax in RAM is _f_a_s_t_. I really could not believe how
fast the system was. Give it a shot if you're not familiar with it.
Open Office loads in about a second, slowed only by it's splash
screen. Firefox comes up instantly.
That should happen the 2nd time you load something or even better as the
2nd user executing the same program someone else is running on any
machine that would have had enough memory for a ramdisk. Anything
loaded from disk to ram will normally stay there until the buffer space
is needed for something else. Maybe you just need to come up with a way
to preload a few programs.
