For a RAMdisk, would you want the entire Sierra folder in the Ramdisk including the Data files, and any multiple instances of Sierra's folders also in the Ramdisk? Does this provide any speed benefit?

See the bottom of this: http://blog.laptopmag.com/faster-than-an-ssd-how-to-turn-extra-memory-into-a-ram-disk

RAMdisk is orders of magnitude faster than SSD in raw speed tests. However, I have not tried loading the entire Sierra Chart directory including all the data and the studies into a RAMdisk as I figured I need at least a 4GB RAMdisk and I do not have that much RAM to spare on my old system - I can probably work with a 2GB RAM disk but will have to keep moving files out from it. If anyone in here have like 16GB or more RAM, may be it is worthwhile to give it a go?
