Hello Matt, 

I just tied it myself. First I was a bit confused, because my test
hello.c that I invoked for compilation with the command:
gcc hello.c -o hello
did not increase the ccache -s stats...(expect the linker invocation
count) I tried both: /ram/.ccache and my /root/tmp/.ccache

(my setup is: /root/.ccache normaly is an link to /root/tmp/.ccache)

But when I invoked gcc just for compilation: 
gcc -c hello.c

/ram/.ccache worked well.

Sadly I don't have the time to measure thing, but anyway... the .ccache
dir should be an persistant directory... setting CCACHE_TEMPDIR to the
ram sound very nice, anyway. But you shouldn't set CCACHE_TEMPDIR to
another fileystem than the CCACHE_DIR... because of some file renaming
issues - at least that's what the doc's say. 

So, to summarize: ccache & /ram works well with my aranym FreeMiNT
1.16.3 Setup. 

Maybe you also just tried pure gcc invoke without the -c flag? 

Greets,
