to a RAM disk because there's always an additional step needed to
write to the "real" storage. Even if you use rsync to only write
what's new, there may be significant delays while you do the dump.
That's all true... Ramdisk is something to use if you're on a machine
with a UPS, a stable kernel, no xruns, etc. And you have to remember to
save your work. Still...imagine the bandwidth! Woo!
