Hi.
Is it possible to create a RAM Disc for portable apps so the Apps are loaded and kept in this disc?
I'd like to point to a portable version of Opera:
Google search: "Kejut Opera"
This version creates a Ram disc, and runs from there.
After closing the files are stored on the USB Stick again.
I find this much easier to work with and:
This Ram disc does not need Admin Rights.

That discontinued package just copied the data locally, ran from the local disk and then repacked the data back onto USB on exit. No RAM disk was involved.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for the reply.
Is this possible with portable apps?
I often have the problem the apps (specially Browser) are hanging when they have to load from USB.
There are quite a few security issues with doing things this way. And it makes for very slow startup and shutdown. It's due to using a slow flash drive and the easiest way to alleviate it is to get a faster one.

Unfortunately, I already have a fast USB Stick.
But I can live with long startup and ending times.
Most 'fast' sticks are only fast at copying large files (that's all they test for rating their speed in their specs). They are *awful* at lots of individual small reads and writes of a few KB. Especially as they get bigger. Bigger drive = slower (assuming same components inside).
You can check it out with CrystalDiskMark Portable. Run all the tests. The ones at the bottom are the critical ones.
