The only thing I'd use RAM-drives for are thousands and thousands of small temporary files that don't need to be saved. Maybe I should try and set up one for Calibre's Edit Book functionality, as it spits out a lot of small files when opening a book.

Well, on linux /tmp should already be automounted as a tmpfs most places, if not it is extraordinarily easy to setup.
