  not the same thing as tuning the db settings to specifically cache the whole thing in RAM and maybe even making its disk storage live on a RAM drive that's created at boot.

      That's mlock() and it does already exist. People really like to reinvent things their OS already has because they're one step too far above the kernel to use them - like building a web service to send files between two internal servers when you could use NFS.

  If only this were true for S3 and friends. (It is true for clients of scale out NFS servers, for what it's worth.)
