Well, I think 10 times faster is probably about average, but it
depends on a lot of things. 

Remember MS is three things, first it's a graphics program so you have
a lot of calculations that have to be made in the CPU, second, it's a
huge I/O port for information flowing into it and out of it, and
third, it's dizzy disk writing maniac. 

Problems one and three could be helped by a rewrite of the software on
a more efficient platform. This is unlikely to happen any time soon. 

Item two is partially MS and partially Esignal. That's not likely to
change either.

As each of those three items ebbs and flows during the day, the speed
will go up and down. Oh, did I mention your ISP connnection speed
flops around during the day like a carp out of water. Then of course
there's the problem with gates on the www going down and traffic
rerouting. Well, I don't want to leave out your RamDisk software.
There are differences between management of ram by the various RamDisk
software. 

That means you can get out your flashlight and screwdriver if you
want, but you probably won't figure out why the speed goes up and
down, and you may break something else in the process. 

Since 10 times faster equates to 1000% improvement, maybe you can
consider being happy with your bountiful harvest, while the majority
of users on here start their computers with a lawn mower rope every
morning. 

That RamDisk is sweet, isn't it.
