Has anyone run boinc [any project] completely on a ramdisk? The hard disks seem to be constantly thrashing and I believe the over all performance would improve if run totally in a ram disk. Hints tips, or faqs anyone???

Do an Advanced search using the 1 year range.
It's been talked about several times.

As for the thrashing, it could just be that you don't have enough ram for the project(s).
