I wonder if ram fs would perform exact the same as sqlite in memory.

The article speculates that the overhead of calling `fopen` for each file and subsequently reading it is more expensive than reading from an already opened database file.

But as for how expensive `fopen` is really depends many factors.

I would believe ramfs would be slower, as there will be additional system calls needed.
