You aren't gaining speed, it just seems that way cause of the RAMDisk Caching.
Caching also sometimes makes you see an outdated website when not configured properly.
I guess for a really old slow computer it might have it's advantages, but in today's day and age with a normal PC and good internet, it's not worth it imo.
Now, using that idea of yours for File Transfer, there it can have it's advantages.

I'm willing to make a fool out of myself by saying that it does work. At least here it does on two separate systems. It doesn't seem like it's faster, it actually is. Try it!
It's ok dude. If you think it's faster and it's helping you out then that's fine.Ok, I'll take the fall for this... but it would be nice of you to explain the error in my thinking instead off cutting me of like that. Why isn't it possible, according to you, to notice any difference?
Caching from the net (or in general) means two thing imo:
1) It has to be loaded from the net to your drive
2) It has to be loaded from the drive to your RAM
So, direct writing to RAM would skip both steps and read/write the data direct into the MUCH faster (than any given harddrive) physical system memory which also happens to relieve the drive from caching activities.
Now, I'm not saying I improved my internet speed beyond belief, but my internet feels more seamless. Before I wrote my cache directly to RAM, pages sometimes had to load for 2 or 3 seconds; a good example would be google.maps. Also, most of the times the page has to build up while it's on screen (load vids, pics etc,). Normaly, this goes fast... now that I redirected my cache it goes almost instantaneous. I really can feel the difference.
It's ok if you don't think it's working, but at least tell me why it would never work or try it out yourself and share that expierence.
