  <p>I have an idea how to speed up my IDE.</p>
  <p>I want to create a RAM disk and move my solution onto this virtual disk.<br />
  I think that this can speed up the IDE because RAM is much faster than a HDD.</p>
  <p>Has anyone done this before?</p>
  <p>PS: I think, when I have some documents in my program(real world) which are used frequently(for example some document templates) it could be good idea to move these documents onto a RAM disk as well to speed up I/O. Am I wrong?</p>
  <p>If power is a problem, a UPS could solve it.</p>
