hi ppl !
please note that I may have had a completely stupid idea :)
Even if tmpfs is a bit slower than using disk space, i think
that limiting fragmentation is a Good Idea (tm). i've been wondering
if the use of ramdisk wouldn't be better. doc says that it dynamically
grows as more space is required. Moreover, it uses a real filesystem,
which is not the case of tmpfs afaik, so it might be faster.
anyway, i know that size grows, but i've seen nothing in docs about
freeing memory which is no more used...
