Ram As A Fast OS Cache

PC World - Kernel space: How to use a terabyte of RAM

Since I feel physical pain every time I feel or notice my computer swap to disk, I’ve always wanted a kernel module that loads my OS partition into Ram at boot.  Since I’m running on 4 gigs of ram now, that’s almost reasonable.

It’d be nice if it also loaded all of my commonly used applications and garbage collected space as needed for actual running programs - but that’s just icing on the cake.

If this stabilizes at all, I might just give it a try. Awesome.
