Thanks to:
Darren Dunham
Derek Olsen
and to Rich Teer who reminded me about:
"If RAM gets in short supply, the kernel will happily page out
stuff on the RAM disk to swap (unless the pages are locked in
memory). Given enough RAM, something in a VM backed /tmp will
not be paged to disk, and hence will be equivelent to a RAM disk."
It is true that using a RAM DISK may NOT be the best solution or the best usage
of real memory. Your mileage may vary.
Thx/Bill
