Certainly tmpfs for /tmp is nice.

Of course raid1 often reads twice as fast as a single disk (since linux
software raid does interleaved reads from both disks), and you usually
read more than you write, you usually gain performance.

Not true of any other raid level (raid0 isn't raid so I won't even
consider that one).
