If the cache manager is doing it's job, temporary files already reside in ram without having to dedicate a portion of it to a ramdisk. If the cache manager isn't working at least as well with temporary files as a ramdisk is, maybe it could be improved?
This is for use in building from Windows, too. These files are not flagged as temporary, because in the normal sense they are true files. For example, the .o files. Normally a developer keeps these files so only what's necessary needs to be rebuilt. However, if you have a "nightly build" setup and want to do a complete rebuild every time, then it makes sense.
