whoa. I'm unsure what to think. Impressive, I guess.

I usually just clone my whole repository to /tmp before I start working. 
I'd have to be extremely greedy to run out of memory. On my smallest 
system, I'd have 4GB. I can "almost" imagine running out of space there 
if I included all of clang, gcc and boost there.

ccache goes on tmpfs any way for me

Just this morning I copied a virtual machine into my tmpfs for playing 
around. My main workstation has 32GB so that's not hard to do. And it 
performs :) With or without ballooning.

Anyways, I'll leave it at this, because it's not really relevant, I'll 
leave the topic to others :)
