| Interesting - I suppose in that case it might help. It reminds me of how I used to use a "RAM Disk" back in the MPW days to put sources directly into RAM for faster compiles. *That* definitely worked.

This can improve compile times by reducing or avoiding disk access. Also I have seen the compiler (g++) grow well into the hundreds of megabytes on some larger C++ files with many macros.

I have a Dual 2.0GHz G5, with 1.5G of RAM. I don't get the impression that adding RAM would improve my build times at all. When you consider the highly distributable nature of compiling, I don't think any discrete moment during the build process needs a particularly large amount of RAM unless you've got insanely huge source files.
