That would defeat the purpose of having it in RAM.

I assume that these optional packages are loaded into RAM (instead of
running direct from CD) because they want to run fast.  If I start
removing their libraries from memory, then they will need to fire up the
CD for their library access.

The way it currently works, it will use the RAM library if it's present,
otherwise it will use the library on CD.
