One thing I don't think I saw mentioned yet....I think certain queries
create temporary tables (or at least use some temporary space) so  ..../base/[whatevernumber]/pgsql_tmp
should be a symlink to something on the ramdisk as well.

(Kinda off-topic -- anecdotally it feels to me that some queries
go faster if I put /pgsql_tmp on a different device & disk controller.
If I verify this I'll post results to perform)
