Sure, you load it into RAM and index it in RAM, but it only addresses the reuse of existing TM entries. As you translate, you need to add more segments to the TM and write it back to the server for every single segment because otherwise you will lose your work in case of crash, power loss, etc. You can get away with it if you just add a new segment to an existing TM, adding a few hundred bytes to the end of the file, but if you update an already existing segment, you need to rewrite the entire TMX, potentially many megabytes for a single segment.
