Well, Vlado spoiled the thread now 
, but i have to backup daforce totally.
Having slow disks and HUGE meshes (over 500k polys each, per tree), i can tell you that it's VERY obvious when vray's loading the proxy, as everything in the render stops and wait for it (normally at the start of an LC or IRmap pass, as the proxy is first hit by a ray).
If the mesh was in the scene, it's be in Ram already, and nothing would "stop" to wait for it.
On the other hand, with my meagre 1Gb, it IS faster to render with proxies, as without Max would crash, or windows would swap to disk until it died.
