Well, if you are cpu limited, I don't think you can use all 8*35000iops by node.
So, maybe a benchmark can tell us if the difference is really big.

Using tmpfs and ups can be ok, but if you have a kernel panic or hardware 
problem, you'll lost your journal.

Haven't tested that. But does this makes sense? I mean data goes to Disk 
journal - same disk then has to copy the Data from part A to part B. 

Why is this an advantage?
