Hi All,

This may be old news for some of you, but I recently tried out using a
RamDisk to do my builds on.  I'm using Esperance DV
(http://www.mparrot.net/) on Mac OSX to create the RamDisk, and doing
builds of blue and csound on it.  Just a small stat, I did a clean
build using Ninja to build Csound 6 on the Ramdisk.  I got:

real 0m14.291s
user 0m42.066s
sys 0m5.713s

(14 seconds for a full build!)

This is using "time ninja" after generating the ninja build files with CMake.

I know there's commandline ways to do this on Mac, and other methods
for Linux.  I don't own an SSD so don't know if this would be much of
an improvement over SSD, but it's noticeably faster than on my HDD.

Thought others might find it useful!
steven

I might need to try this! My OSX builds are fiendishly slow.
