Re: [qmailtoaster] qmail using ramdisk

[Jeff Koch]

We've used ramdisks to hold the qmail-queue and it did make a big 
difference in speed. Depending on the size of ram disk you could also 
consider including /var/log/qmail which also uses a lot of IO.  Although 
we backed up the ram disk before planned reboots we weren't particularly 
concerned if those two directories were accidentally wiped.

I wondered if using a RAM disk (maybe 32 GB) in Qmail would speed up
processing, i.e., handling scanning (using qmail-scanner)?

Is this a crazy idea?
