There's no need for the extra software in Firefox. Everything is there in about.config.
1) Set 'browser.cache.disk.enable' to false
2) Set 'browser.cache.memory.enable' to true.
3) Create 'browser.cache.memory.capacity' if it doesn't exist.
4) Set 'browser.cache.memory.capacity' to the desired size of the RAM cache in kilobytes.

Hey,
thanks for the tip. I guess this willl do until I get my question answered for Chrome.

It's worth noting that browser.cache.memory.capacity needs to be an integer setting.

Wow - I just tried this and Firefox is WAY faster. It'd been taking up to 5 seconds just to open the app, and then it would be sluggish. I switched to Chrome as a result - and the faster rendering - but really miss the apps; they're not as advanced in Chrome.
I really might switch back now - going to experiment some more.
Is there a non-software way to do this in Chrome? Our company IT policies prevent this sort of thing (running 3rd party software).
Great tip danielkza - +1

Wow, that's cool, if it works in the same way!
I'll have to give it a go.

Thanks for the great tip! This has cured my FF 3.6* scrolling lag bug which many people have. It wasn't as bad with a clean install of FF, but with my regular highly extension version, sites like Engadget were becoming a pain, so much so that I was switching over to Chrome or IE9b to read it. Now it's all fast and smooth like with FF4.

Right.
The article is in the same range of stupidity like the one suggesting putting Windows swap file on a ramdrive.

Only it's not, because I didn't suggest putting the Windows swap file into RAM.
Try it out, man -- it actually works.
