Since the battery life of the PowerBook is extended considerably if the hard disk is asleep, putting applications in small AppDisk ramdisks will cause them to not read from the disk every time they need to put up a window or do an operation. You can generally keep the hard disk asleep while using your program, until you need to save a document to the hard disk. The new "launch on mount" feature makes this even easier, since you can make the AppDisk automatically run an application inside itself when you first start up the ramdisk. And it can also remove the ramdisk when you quit the application that was started up.
