I'm really looking forward to this feature. Currently I must untar files so that I can reload there contents in IDL. The tars have around 2000 small files in them and I've just discovered that the Windows NTFS sucks at creating this many files in a single directory (takes around 12 second on my high end machine). On even a low end linux machine it is pretty much instant.

Anyway being able to load these files directly into memory would be a great improvement.
