No, no. I took just about 100 MS files which made less than 8 MB and put them on RAM disk.
Comparison was done to the same set of files on HD while running explorations. This is
where I didn't see any difference. I couldn't put all MS code on RAMdisk to make a clean
case and find out the reason for such a  sluggishness.
