you follow these instructions If you are in linux.
mkdir /mnt/ram
1) Make a filesystem on the ramdisk (i.e. mkfs.ext2 /dev/ramdisk).
2) Mount it (i.e. mount -t ext2 /dev/ramdisk /mnt/ram).
It is important that you make the filesystem at least the first time you
try to use it after a reboot, since the contents get dumped when you shut
down, and it won't have any valid filesystem until you make one.
(instructions are courtesy of Jakob 'Sparky' Kaivo [[EMAIL PROTECTED]])
Also, after a reboot (or normal shutdown process) the ramdisk gets saved
and restored during kernel reboot if your kernel supports it. Mine,
(kernel 2.0.32 rh 5.0) does save and restore it.--which is something i
didn't know it did and I don't know why it does..but...i do not look a gift
horse in the mouth.

I must admit I'm not an expert, but doesn't a ramdisk almost always
decrease access time? Also how do you go about creating a RAM disk?
