enable "load to ram" and "dircache"

onkel_enno:
What do I have to patch, if I want these features to become available?

If I use the current build (for the Sansa) these options aren't available, but in Kugels build they are (for example) - is there any wiki where I can read about things like that

Thanks.

Llorean:
They don't make sense on a flash target. Both of them exist to counter disk spinup time, something the Sansa doesn't have to deal with. Why do you want them available?

saratoga:
Was there some weirdness with the database that was worked around by enabling them?  Or am I thinking of an old bug thats been fixed?

Llorean:
Database auto-update used to require one of them, if I recall, but I'm pretty sure this is no longer the case. It *may* be that detecting removed files still requires dircache, actually, but I'm not sure. That's part of why I was asking why he wanted it.

onkel_enno:
I thought there where some cases where you need these features, especially "Load to RAM" and all custom build I saw have it enabled, so I thought I ask how to do it.

I use the Database a lot and I wanted to test if I can increase the speed a little.
