I was talking to a buddy telling him about how fast TC is, and how it runs completely in ram. Then he said all programs on all operating systems run completely in ram until ram runs out, then the OS simply manages sharing it. He followed that the performance gains in TC are probably due to its size, rather than its design.
This doesn't sit right with me, but I am not sure how to rebut it - what do you guys/gals think?
Cheers,
