With the sheer amount of RAM modern computers have today and with the low
requirements of Haiku I think having an option to make the system save
temporary files (clipboard stuff included) into the RAM would be neat.
There are so many advantages in having a feature like this available that
I'm not even in the mood to list them.
Another nice to have and related feature would be being able to set up and
use a "RAM disk", drivers for this have been available for a long time in
both BeOS and Haiku so maybe they could be looked upon and, if deemed
suitable, be added to the Haiku main tree and thus be available by default
on any Haiku system. Just a thought.
