It works fine and fast (assuming 512K). However, there is one problem down the road to be aware of. Should you decide to link the newly created object module while LC1 and LC2 are still in ram, you will find that the system crashes due to a lack of memory. Because of this, I use two different methods depending upon whether I wish to do a straight compile and link or will be compiling a number of object modules and linking them together later. In either case, I load LC1 into ram when my C disk boots. Since a large portion of error detection occurs in the first phase of the compiler, LC1 is used more often than either LC2 or the linker. As an aside, I was not aware - until a couple of days ago - that any- thing loaded in ram via copy to ram: can be invoked without the ram: path extension.
