Sesame on an SSD Drive

I believe sesame 'works' mostly in the server's memory, so would moving the application files to an SSD Drive (from standard hard drive, or Striped Raid drives) make a noticeable improvement in performance and stability?

Just curious.

It would certainly improve performance if the drive is faster than a mechanical drive. While Sesame does reside in memory, it has to get there ("load") and all changes are committed to disk as they occur. Additionally, because this drive may be used as the RAM swap drive, it will also improve performance if your system is swapping.

But, for most users, maxing RAM is the simplest and easiest way to get a system, and all the programs on it, running faster.
