Alright.
With the freshly created RAMDisk, and a copy of EQLite installed on it... My load times(did tests between EC and West Freeport)... have hardly(if at all)been affected.
With EQLite on RAMDisk Drive zone FROM EC into WFP:
1) 14.20
2) 14.52
3) 14.14
Full Titanium on my regular HDD zone from EC into WFP:
1) 15.98
2) 15.10
3) 14.97
Note: Times may not be 100% accurate, but they are fairly close(within .10 of a second)
The FULL version is a bit slower, but on EQLite with the RAMDisk, I had all of the options turned off... Shadows... anything that I thought MIGHT be able to affect the load time.
Conclusion
Based on what I've noted myself, its not worth it. UNLESS, others may be able to prove otherwise. Perhaps there is something else that can be done to modify these load times on the RAMDrive? Fatmgaic, someone mentioned on your thread for the EQLite that with a RAMDrive, they would have instant load times. I'm not sure if that was speculation of what they thought would occur, or if by using a RAMDrive, they DID have instant load times.
So being able to shave off a few seconds for each zone load so that monks could get mends in faster, not looking like it will work out

I encourage other players to do the same tests, or to try different options. I'm not very savvy so perhaps someone else could add something to the equation that I'm overlooking!
