It helps (a lot) when dealing w creation of lots of small temp files. I had to resort to it when running Magento Web Commerce.It was done some time ago and by then we were using vmware server, with very limited memory and I suppose it did memory balooning very agressivelly. We didnt observe any problems back then.We're on esxi now, and im just not leaving the RAMDisk even with fast controllers, drives and raid. We got spare memory on it so I couldnt tell if tere is a problem w balooning and RAMDisk.Bottomline, it might work better than expected.kind regards, Caio.
