The usefulness of placing /var/amavis/tmp to ramdisk very much depends on a file system in use and whether a disk drive has a RAM cache or not. When I was benchmarking amavisd-new on FreeBSD (UFS2 file system), there was no advantage in using ramdisk for tmp. I would imagine journaling file systems would behave similarly.
