Ramdrives etc revisited

I don't know about you but I find Firefox doesn't always work so fast running off USB. Especially USB1 in old internet cafes.

This makes some plugins like Lazarus (form saver) unusable.

There's been talk of ramdrives and local caching in the past to speed things up. But the last I saw this mentioned was way back in 2007. Ramdisk.tk is now down.

Has there been any progress on this since then?

Won't Work

Using a ram drive requires admin rights, which makes it dead in the water at a place like an internet cafe with horribly outdated computers.

It's not much of an issue these days as most computers that run USB 1.1 are only capable of running Windows 98, which nearly all of our apps have dropped support for. We are as well with the next release.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
