[postgis-users] Postgis and Ramdisk

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I wonder if people have experiences with running Postgis with 
tablespaces on a ramdisk?

How are the performance gains - is it worth a try?

My DB is several hundred mb (300-400 - may grow), the physical RAM is 
8GB. Most of the DB is read-only. I would perhaps only store the 
read-only part in the RAM-disk and the read-write part on harddisk.

Thanks for any hints, resources or experiences regarding Postgis and 
RAM-Disk.

Andreas
