There are, however, numerous add-ons that do copy plenty to RAMDISK before
working.
Sure there are. Everyone that creates a plugin thinks their apps must
install to the RAMDISK. Heck I even copy my Favorites to the RAMDISK
on bootup but is it req'd? I don't think so.
What slows it down isn't a slow optical drive, necessarily, it's the amount
of drivers and items that build in. For those of us that just use
"universal" type BART discs, with all drivers we might potentially need, the
load time can be sucky, no matter what you do.
That's the catch22 "all drivers we might potentially need". Once we
do that it's more like we're installing Windows versus just booting
an existing OS but that's also a caveat of the beast. We never know
what drivers are needed for the system we've not yet seen & are asked
to fix so we're damned if we do have almost all the drivers that we
can think of or we're damned if we don't. Maybe we need 2 BartPE
disks with one with just the basic driver set that comes with PE
Builder & another with a much wider assortment of driver just in case?
