Mike, I was more thinking about buffering for writes.
Tmpfs or ramdisk would ensure that data dumped would go to memory and
then from there its much more efficient to let linux transfer the file
to hdd.
Larger DMA buffer and less stress on the system in overall.

Most of the time the files don't even end up on the server anyway and go
directly to remote fs, so why let it go to hdd at all.
