[ldm-users] Running your LDM queues out of memory really helps!

I just set up our ldm to use RAM for the queue file a few weeks ago and, 
as you noticed, it makes a huge difference in the disk usage.  It has 
lowered the system load at peak times.  All I had to do was make an edit 
to the ldmadmin-pl.conf and my init scripts.  RAM is cheap these days, I 
wish I'd done it sooner.
