is this different than just allocating swap space on the SSD?

  Very different. The RAPID mode is basically a RAM disk under the hood -- it does its best to cache often-accessed files and temporarily prioritise loading big files on demand (which is the use-case of games, they often have huge files with textures and sound). Gotta say, it works amazingly well. I am getting almost PCI/NVMe speeds on my SATA III SSD.

Sorry if this is obvious but does that mean we will have a better experience with a total of 32GB RAM than say 8GB? I have not worked with RAM disk before...
