Has anyone done any comparisons between compiling using a RAM tmp disk and
using the -pipe option on the compiler.  Seems to me that they would be
much the same since both use memory only and not a lot of temporary files
on a physical disk, they just go about it differently.  I'm still running
4.0.3c so I can't really try this out.
