I use smartdrive to speed up compiles and IMHO it is better than ramdrive
especially when write caching is enabled. Also there is no need to fool
around with tmp environment variable etc.

A command for setting up a 16 mb smartdrive disk cache would be "smartdrv
16000 c+" without the quotes. You can just type it into the dos prompt or
add it into your autoexec.bat file.

The "c+" bit means enable write caching to your c drive. If you have
additional hard drives please add there number too, ie if there is a d:
drive the you would add "c+ d+" to the above command.

Then just relax and see how lightning fast the compiles turn out to be...
