I am curious if setting up a RAM drive on EC2 would change build times at all.
On the one hand, we might actually be interested in places where IO is a bottleneck, and using a slow drive would help us isolate those hotspots. On the other hand, I imagine most Jekyll sites are being built on machines with fast SSDs, and our current slow EBS disk is not really representative of that.
