Today I was bored, so I made a ext2 partition and mounted it in RAM, and then I proceeded to install Firefox on it, hoping for a dramatic speed boost

in loading times, so that when I click the icon on the panel, it would be there. Didn't help that. However, my surfing seems to have gotten faster... although I didn't time it. I guess I'll keep it, simply cause it seems snappier. And that's what matters, right? Not sure why that would be though... If someone is interested, and wants to try this, I can post instructions on how to do this...EDIT: Did that, it's close to the bottom of the page.
I'm just curious if anyone else has tried anything similar to this or has any comments about it.
