How? RAM is backing store now. CPUs have 1/2 or 1 meg cache, and its rather expensive (that is, if it's possible) to buy more.

But why waste resource unnecessarily, especially if it has a noticeable impact (yes I know, computers are now *often* too fast to notice a bit of speed difference. But not always.)
