Did you mean RAM-disc?
Also for CWSDPMI you can disable swap.
I also think that lowres textures looks better square blocked than blurry. I have tried e.g. 3Dfx patch for Blood but I cannot play it long as the blur iritated me a lot. Also 3Dfx voodoo 1 doesn't support better than 640x480, maybe 800x600 in some cases, which was fine on old 14" CRT but not so fine on large 21" LCD so I rather run software renderer in native resolution :)

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.

You can do several things:

1). manually load "cwsdpmi -s-" (or put that in a .bat, e.g. RUN.BAT)
2). manually load "cwsdpr0" (or "hdpmi32") instead
3). disable swapping permanently in CWSDPMI.EXE via CWSPARAM.EXE (which just changes the swapfile drive letter from 'c' to '\0')
4). if you don't want to modify your global (e.g. %DOSDIR%\cwsdpmi.exe) binary, you can put another local copy in the same subdir as the game .EXE itself, and it should use that one instead, by default
5). IIRC, Quake has the same cmdline param as UHexen2, e.g. "-mem 64" to limit total DPMI used by the game itself
