Benefits also depends of what the system does during the emerge. If another process is intensively using the kernel cache and the kernel cache can't keep all the cached files for all the processes because it is missing of RAM, then underlying disk rapidity (tmpfs vs bare metal HDD) will sightly change the results. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
