[tex-k] IPC and TeX

[Tom Rokicki]

The IPC option (at least the way I wrote it originally) does not save any writes
to disk at all; it just uses an IPC channel to communicate which pages have
been written to the DVI file already.

For what you're doing, have you considered simply using a ram disk?
