Thank you very much for stating this performance limitation to syslinux
core, and likely linux.c32 module as well. I'll refrain from loading too
large ISO/harddisk images this way and stick with operating systems that
support ramdisk loading on their own, like PartedMagic or Knoppix
("knoppix64 toram").
