And with 4.0.6, and 4.1 comming soon the size will only increase.

But as pointed out earler, the major improvment with using RAM is an increase in loading the game from start. In game play you are not going to be able to notice any increase.
And to use a ram disk you have to copy 20 + gigs of files to the ram disk so in the big picture your not saving your self any time at all.
