Would using a RAM DISK somehow improve compile/synthesis times?

Possibly, but probably not significantly. Improved compile times usually come from faster processors with more ram..

What you should do is put more RAM in your computer. Ram disks aren't useful with modern operating systems. They automatically allocate unused ram to the file cache.
