As I remember, that's what Linux defalts to.  Don't take may word for

For such large transfers between proxy and server, is there any reason
why one shouldn't just dump it into a tempfile in a ramdisk for the
proxy to deal with at its leisure, and let the OS take care of all the
virtual and sharing stuff?  After all, that's what it's for...
