I agree that moving the JRE would not help. Swap files in RAM is great
and another area would be dispendable log files in RAM.

Try moving your system's swap file to the ram disk; that should speed
*everything* up.

Moving the JRE would certainly make the JVM startup a lot faster, but
once
the application is loaded into memory I don't think one would find any 
substantial performance improvement.  If you moved all the resources the
application needs once it's loaded to the ram disk, that may speed up
the
app significantly (especially if you have file IO intensive app).
Unless
you're starting and stopping lots of new instances of the JVM, moving
the
JRE won't be much help though.

Has anyone tried placing the JRE on a ramdisk to increase the
performance of an application?
