Yeah, I would. This is a gateway box and I'm not having much luck with 
disk I/O and wanted to move some of that into tmpfs. The reliability has 
been pretty impressive but I have not seen a big improvement with 
MailScanner since moving the working directory to tmpfs, I'm still 
getting killed on disk by sendmail.
