Disable Chromium Disk Cache

I'm running Arch on my Asus eee 1000. Firefox works decently, but it runs a bit slow. I tried a couple other browsers (Midori was my favorite, but a bit lacking on some features), but Chromium is my favorite mix of speed and features. However, my computer uses an SSD, so I'd rather not have Chromium writing to a disk cache. How can I disable it in Chromium? Or, at the very least, move it to my /tmp/ directory which is in a tmpfs.

EDIT: I found the --disk-cache-dir option, that seems to work well. If there was a way to disable it, I'd still appreciate that.

Re: Disable Chromium Disk Cache

Just a little bump to the problem.

Why Chrome developers haven't made this configurable? It's easy to do, but very useful. I have an Acer Aspire One 110 with SSD (which is very slow), and I wanted to disable disk cache completely. In Firefox I can easily do that, and in Chrome I can't. Just a full stop, because writing something to SSD is PAINFULLY slow.

Re: Disable Chromium Disk Cache

What happens if you set that to /dev/null or to a ram drive if you have got enough of it.
