  Consider also the possibility of designing tmpfs such that it can
survive reboots (either battery backed RAM, or soft reset on a system that
doesn't clear memory).  This could make it more complex than desired
(particularly the abililty to survive interrupted activity), but would at
least be a point of comparison.
