You're obviously not a developer (or gentoo user). I have a huge (20/30Gb ramdisk) for temp precisely because I quite often have gigs of data that gets created and deleted pretty quick. What's the point of writing it to disk when my system has plenty of ram?

Cheers,

That's right I'm not a full time developer.
Anyway if nothing else is waiting for IO on that disk then it still wouldn't bother you very much since it won't block anything.
Anyhow you have your use-case solved.
