I'd certainly be curious as to the results of such a benchmark. Maybe |

I'll try to mess around and come up with some (good excuse to try out ext4). |

However, I agree with the crux of your argument. In theory tmpfs+swap |

should be able to outperform any filesystem out there. In practice it |

might not - kind of like seeing a really-well-written bubblesort |

outperform a really-badly-written quicksort. I still see tmpfs as being |

the better design, but if it is hampered by its implementation maybe |

there is something to doing it differently. |
