Please post some memory-usage figures, otherwise how do you expect 
anybody to help you?  There is no magic wand here.

What go32-v2 prints, how much memory did you allocate to SmartDrv and the
RAM disk, approximately how much memory do you expect your program to
allocate at run time, do you run on DOS or Windows--all these are 
required to help you efficiently.  Please don't spare us the details.

This won't help unless your problem is with reading files from disk.  
Does your program read a lot?  If not, this is not something that will 
help.

You cannot do without EMM, since your DPMI memory comes out of the EMM 
pool.

Can't really say without seeing your current EMM configuration.  How 
about sharing with us your EMM command line?
