If however you find that messages spend a long time in the queue before being processed (or web-access to the list configuration is very slow to load) then you might want to consider putting aside some ram for use as a disk. You can copy your ~mailman/lists/... to this RAM drive and mount it over the ~mailman/lists (then startup Mailman). Access to the lists and configuration will then be much faster. Note: the RAM drive *must* be at least twice the size as the data stored in it, so that Mailman can make backup copies of the config files while doing changes. Good Luck!
