So I thought I'd try setting this up based on notes found here (nothing Rails specific here, post is written by a Django developer): http://kotega.com/blog/2010/apr/12/mysql-ramdisk-osx/ Alas, the before-and-after timings don't bring the kind of speed up I was hoping for: normal disk real 2m51.720s user 2m30.692s sys 0m2.653s ram disk real 2m42.268s user 2m31.590s sys 0m2.499s It's possible that one could get better performance by tuning some MySQL parameters, but I am sceptical about the gains being very impressive.
