Nginx cache, worth it to put it on a ramdisk?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

I have a reverse proxy that has a cache set up for static content
working, as traffic increases iam wondering if its worth it to put the
cache on a ramdisk or would the normal file caching/buffer in ram from
the linux kernel be sufficient?

The size of the cache is 30mb.

Thanks
Joseph

i made some benchmarks lately and it loks like it doesnt
matter for smaller caches, since os-caching is smart enough.

if you really want to know just test yourself.
