Interesting, will this affect performance at all?

I think (disclaimer: not an expert at all) that RAM is much faster to access than a hard drive so if anything it should improve.

Yea. Also a reboot is enough to wipe anything of the face of the globe. So I that can only improvement

It will make no difference to the performance of a VPN; nothing that those nodes are doing is IO bound.

It's unlikely to have any noticeable impact. This is more about verifiably and categorically not having any traces of logging or cached state.

Both caching and logging should be independent of the direct usage performance anyway. And service startup happens only once - not during its usage.
