i've got a 8gb laptop, and i was thinking about making a ramdisk to use for chrome's cache. i'm using mint 9 if it matters.
when i shut the lid, it hibernates and wouldn't delete it right? i hardly ever reboot, so i thought i could make a backup folder and copy the contents over before i shut down and load them when i boot using a script or something. it'd take a while if the ramdisk is big, but i don't do it often enough where i'd think it'd be a bother.
also, i've got SABnzbd+ to automatically extract rar files and perhaps i could use a ramdisk cache instead of the harddrive. the only problem with that is if the whole file is larger than the ramdisk size, correct?
so, thoughts? is it worth it?
