Thanks!

Would you say that the inefficiencies related to the ram disk would
remove all advantages of using ram instead of hard drives (or could it
still be worth a try)?

Depends upon many things.  Best thing to do is test.

As for speed, I would think that latency would be the most critical -
but I don't really know, it its the code of a colleague of mine (I was
trying to come up with a replacement of his SMP-machine which is getting
old).

Ok. Are they IO bound with small reads/writes, large reads/writes? Gluster is very good for the larger file IO and many simultaneous (large) IOs.
