This doesn't make much sense to me.  As I understand it, although you
connect to a named pipe through the filesystem, the actual buffering for
the named pipe is all handled by the kernel in RAM.  As such, I'm not
sure how moving the named pipe to ram would increase the buffer size. 
Have you tried this before?
