I used to do that when I was on dial-up. Large pages would take so
long, I would click on the links then go take a shower while they
loaded. Now that I have DSL, that is sort of funny. I thought I was
the only one that did that. lol
Way back when I worked on computers, we serviced Mac's, well Apple in
General. I always liked Macs. They were easy to work on and just plain
worked back then. I'm not sure where Linux was at that time. This
would be about 1990 or so. I'm a old fart sometimes. o_O
If you think 8Gbs is cool, try 16Gbs. It takes it a while to even fill
up with cache. I tried putting portage's work directory on tmpfs, it
wasn't any faster. I could have spent that on a really large drive
instead.
