You shouldn't assign JPEGTMP to RAM: because JPEGTMP is an assign that is used for "virtual memory" when decoding jpegs on AmigaOS. Assign it to a suitable partition your hard drive.

No, you still shouldn't put it in RAM:

Are you not listening to me? :-)

It's totally useless to put it in your Ram Disk.
If you don't want to use swapping while decoding JPEGs, simply turn the memory limit off in IBrowse's settings.

Putting it in Ram: would be similar to using a Ram Disk as your swap partition in Linux. It might work, but what's the point? If you don't like the disk access, turn the swapping of instead :-)

There's a reason why they call it _virtual_ memory, y'know...

@JetRacer
If you're right, then I'm wrong, and I'm sorry... I guess I should go :rtfm: :-)

But why is there a "memory used"-slider in IBrowse if it's ignored?

Oops.
Again, I'm sorry for my smarty-pants attitude in my previous posts.
