you'll use swap partition. but you'll not allocate all that ram space with openoffice. i've tried to compile it twice. first time it was on disk and it took almost 14 hours of compilation. the second time was on tmpfs with 3.8gb and a 6gb swap file and it took less than 8 hours and
If I understand you correctly, I wouldn't be able to compile Open Office on tmpfs with my 2GB RAM and 1GB swap. I would have to increase the swap space to be able to hold all the temporary files from the compilation, wouldn't I?
