  12. Howdy netters,
  13.  
  14. Some compilers, linkers, and editors create intermediate files
  15. which gets deleted at the end of the job.
  16.  
  17. Of a ramdrive or a disk cache, which one is more suitable for
  18. such temporary files?
  19.  
  20. How about caching a ram-drive? Does it make sense?
  21.  
  22. Thank you for your help.
