So I am trying to improve Eclipse performance, someone suggested a while ago to move the JVM to a RAM disk, I did that with imdisk, I basically copied the jdk folder to that disk and pointed there from eclipse.ini – eclipse does not load!

The JVM loads almost completely during the startup of Eclipse.
The major speed issue is the filesystem underlying the workspace and Eclipse itself. Especially for Windows with Anti-Virus this can be very slow.
I suggest that instead of working with moving the JDK you should analyze your system to find out what makes it slow and go from there. If it starts swapping nothing else but fixing that will work.
