The difference will probably be minimal if you use tmpfs/ramdisk. If a html file is read from disk multiple times by nginx its automatically cached in ram by nginx as you said :)

Hi, thanks for this nice post. I am looking at a number of options with Nginx for a blog I am working on, and this was definitely useful.
Out of curiosity: rather than letting nginx serve static files from disk, have you tried using its built in caching and… letting it cache to a tempfs/ramdisk location? I guess the difference would be even nicer. :D
