I thought about ramdisk, but tmpfs might be a better solution,
practically it is the same. Main difference between tmpfs and linux
ramdisk device is that tmpfs alocate memory dynamically and also
less-used "pages" can be moved onto swap space.
On modern linux distros it is as easy as:
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs $folder_path -o rw,size=$size
where:
$folder_path is a path to the folder you wish to make "turbocharged"
$size is the amount of memory you want to dedicate( M - megabytes )
for example:
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /usr/local/web2py/applications/example/cache -o
rw,size=200M
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /usr/local/web2py/applications/example/sessions
-o rw,size=200M
you can of course do something like that:
mkdir /usr/local/web2py/applications/example/databases/ramdisk/
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs
/usr/local/web2py/applications/example/databases/ramdisk/ -o
rw,size=20M
and then
SQLDB('sqlite:///usr/local/web2py/applications/example/databases/ramdisk/ramstorage.db')
