I've found that using a ram drive makes a huge difference when probing
around a circuit that has finished the simulation run.
Especially when probing points that have not been loaded before.
Probing around a SMPS circuit that has created a 500MB
RAW file takes my machine(admitedly not a very fast one) about 15-25s
per trace.
From a ram disk it takes less that 3s.
just my 2c
