There are ways for a 32bit application to address more than 4GB of RAM all better than resorting to a RAM drive.Comment

Using a RAM disk you can speed this up 1000x times.
But hey, no one needs a RAM disk ever do they?
Just out of curiosity - how is data integrity maintained on this system?Comment
