Fast enough for me ... As this type of performance doesn't come cheap.
The SSD hard drive is the main helper here. Even if you had 4gb of ram it would open at pretty much the same speed. I have a Core i7 with 8gb ram, but the hard drive is slow so I don't get to see the full speed although things still open very fast. Sometime in January I will be getting myself a ssd hard drive.

Wouldn't really speed it up if you doubled or even tripled the amount of ram you currently have.

Ya, if you had like 1 or 2gb of ram and you upgraded to 8 or 16gb of ram of course you would see a big difference, but going from 8 to 16gb you will not notice any difference unless you use your computer for VERY hardware/memory/cpu intensive stuff.
