Ramfs and tmpfs in the -ac tree should behave a lot better. The
fact you see high pages being a factor sounds to me like a VM rather than
a tmpfs bug. Specifically you should have seen KDE apps terminating with
out of memory kills.
In paticular in the -ac tree ramfs supports setting limits on the max fs
size, which is essential if you want to use it on something like an iPAQ
where ramfs is a real useful fs to have.
tmpfs would I suspect also benefit immensely from quota support
