But surely you're not actually changing much when you're running dsl off your usb stick? I mean, you don't have a swap partition on it, and it mainly just reads all the os off the drive, it doesn't change it. Would it be faster with toram? |
A USB key is MUCH slower than a hard drive..
A hard drive is MUCH slower than a ramdrive..
Running your OS completely loaded into ram
improves performance on any machine,
and reduces writes to ALL your devices,
It also improves write times..
