If I had a regular hard drive, adding a RAM disk and pointing the TEMP environment variables and swap file towards that would be an obvious choice. However, as I have an SSD, would I gain anything? If the difference is di minimus, I won't bother, but if I would get a perceivable performance increase it's probably worth doing. If the latter, how much memory should I grab for the RAM disk?
