What do you mean no point?
I agree, the performance gained of using Soft Updates on a memory disk 
is probably small, but as I mentioned, this was done purely for 
performance, hence the noatime and async flags.

Im by no means a filesystem expert, but Soft Updates should improve 
performance on memory disks as well as regular harddrives, right?

Please let me know what happens, Im very curious to see if this is a bug 
or just my machines.
