I'm not sure tmpfs is the right solution for the OP's problem - disk access slowing down the system. My understanding of tmpfs is that it will swap pages in and out to/from disk. Wouldn't that be as bad as directly writing to disk? I can see tmpfs will have some advantage over direct disk IO when the files are small and short-lived, i.e. less likely to be swapped.
One way around this is to not have swap at all. Then there is no disk i/o to worry about. Everything will be in ram.
This is what I do for embedded asterisk servers. tmpfs and no swap. Ram is cheap.
