I tried a RAMDisk on Windows.  I haven't tried at home on Linux.
I'm not sure if I tried the C API to RAMDisk database combination, only
the Tcl API to RAMDisk database combination.  Maybe Tcl was the
bottleneck here.

Well, at the moment it is mostly only bursts of data, but I have no control
over the possibility that it will become even faster, or continuous, so I want
need to push the envelope.

Quite possible.  At the moment I'm not sure what HD is installed on the 
vehicle where the data is produced, but it can always be improved upon
by throwing $$ at it ;-)
