Did you even compile on a RAM drive? If not - now you know, why... ;D

BTW: The computer I was on had 128GB of RAM.

(Maybe we should either split the topic or just shut up... ;-))

I have several virtual machines to test and compile and they benefit more from ram than from cpu's.
More cores are of course much better, but I need a laptop to be more flexible/mobile.
And laptops with up to 32 GB and a quadcore are common and not too expensive.

No, what is the difference in comparison to a desktop (7200rpm produced in the last 2-3 years) hard disk?
I would have upgraded to a ssd, but looking at the reports on the internet, there is no big difference, that's why I've not upgraded.
As far as I can tell disk performance will be important only to the linking phase.
