Hmmm, I wonder how fast I could compile, say, MH or GNU Emacs or KCL
or MIT C Scheme or all the X clients or the latest kernel or... if my
development filesystem was an in-memory partition?  Putting the first
5 Mb of /tmp there is nice, but how about the entire source to
whatever I'm working on?  The mind boggles.
