Compile faster throught a RAM disk
Compile programs takes a long time.
Do you have an SSD and it takes more time than with your old HDD? A good solution is create a RAM disk and compile on them.
First, you need to create a disk on your RAM (I chose 1Gb size)
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmpfs
sudo mount -o size=1G -t tmpfs none /mnt/tmpfs
Now, for test the speed, procced to create a file on it with dd:
dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1M count=100
On Ram disk (1.8 GB/s):
It's a great difference!
Enjoy it!
