no access to disk, so you may win.
On the other hand you squat some RAM for a file system,
so you may end up with swapping anyway.
So answer is: it depends. On what you do. On your computer
(amount of RAM).
You clearly win if the programs you run do a lot of little I/O
in /tmp and don't smoke too much memory for other things.
