No. Have you tried using libeatmydata? The only key difference there should be with using tmpfs is that it effectively makes fsync() a noop. Aside from fsync and friends, the filesystem cache should make using the files normally just as fast, but firefox makes excessive use of fsync, which tends to slow things down. You should get similar performance from disabling the fsync calls to the normal on disk files, which you can do with libeatmydata. Unfortunately Mozilla views the syncing as vital to prevent the profile from being corrupted, and will not work to remove them. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
