See my post to Paul. I got it set up. Then I tried
Crystal, which I'd never seen before. I don't know
how to interpret it. The ramdisk had only 94 MB free
so I tested a run of 64 MB. The result was 10 times
higher than read/write to a normal partition. I don't
know what that means.


It means it's a real RAMDisk.


Maybe I'd need to set up a
folder on the ramdisk that's not swap in order to test
it.


Yes, just temporally move your swapfile to c:\ (or whatever),
reboot, and format the RAMDisk before you test it.
