Does ReadyBoost help for Visual Studio?

Question

Is there any way that you can monitor if ReadyBoost actually has an impact on performance? I don't really experience much improvement.

Also can it be useful for Visual Studio anyway or would that never help?

ReadyBoost is best noticable in start times of applications, given you don't use a SSD.

So, with ReadyBoost, Visual Studio should start faster once it's in the ReadyBoost cache.
