I haven't. One nice thing about Unix based OS's (and maybe Windows does this, too, I just wouldn't know) is they tend to draft any unused ram into service as a disk cache, so if you have a small set of frequently read files, there's a decent chance it will be in RAM. Obviously, having a ramdisk would give you more control over what's in RAM at any given moment, but if you provision your server to have a lot more RAM than it needs for applications, and if you aren't generally doing a ton of disk IO on a lot of different files that would cause the cache to turn over frequently, then there's a decent chance you can just sit back and let the OS take care of it for you.
