I assume that doesn't include the RAM?

Using this for the Sendmail queue directory and the MIMEDefang spool
directory will probably make things incredibly fast.  Using it for
/var/spool/mqueue will be a huge win, because Sendmail is paranoid about
syncing to disk; a battery-backed RAM disk makes sync operations almost
free.

David.
