OK, the real point of this is that after the install I was reviewing the start-up log and noticed a message saying I had 16 x 4Mb RAM disks. Presumably this was a default kernel option as I haven't knowingly created these. Question is, is this just a capability or is there an actual 64M RAM overhead associated with this?
These are just capabilities.
Do I need any RAM disks?
They are very fast, and their contents easily removed. This makes them good filesystems for /tmp.
