No, varnish caches objects into "virtual memory" which means that
RAM acts as a cache for the disk.

I guess the interesting detail is how eager the kernel is to write the mapped memory to disk.

It would be a shame to spend time and IO bandwidth to write a 1G cache out to disk if the box has 4G of RAM and would never need the RAM for anything other than the cache, woudn't it?
