Yes, if you mean tmpfs.  Its as much th CPU and the I/O I'm worried
about since unzipping requires a fair bit of both.  My machine is
reaching its safe limit (copes okay day to day but got a bit behind with
the first MyDoom explosion).  I need to spend some time giving it a
little TLC, tweak the kernel - that sort of thing.
