Still it will take the whole night to read out the RAM. Therefore something faster would be better.

Your options on the DE115 are;
1) JTAG USB; max speed is about 6MHz/10 per byte, i.e., 0.6MB/s
2) USB; the ISP1362 is a full-speed device, so 12Mbps/8 = 1.5MB/s at 100% USB bus bandwidth (unlikely you'd ever get that).
3) GbE; 1000Mbps/8 = 125MB/s at 100% utilitization ... I think 80MB/s is probably about the max you'd get.
4) Use an FTDI FT2232H on the GPIO connector; 25MB/s (according to their data sheet).
Use (3) and you can transfer your RAM contents in a few seconds.
