MV performance for DHTML page processing W/O DB accesses

[Barry Treahy <treahy@mmaz.com>]

I have numerous static DHTML pages (using JavaScript) that are rather
large but have numerous MV tags and therefore must pass through
Minivend...  There are no DB references, but I can hear the system
really scratch away at the disk drive when the pages are being
requested.  The Linux PC has a lot of free memory and the processor
doesn't appear to be maxing out.

It is almost like MV is taking the input page, working through it and
outputing to temporary file and then sending off the temporary file to
the http server.  If this is in fact what is occuring, how can I get MV
to do this all in memory or perhaps instruct MV to use a specific
directory for this?  That directory might even be a RAM disk?

TIA
