Well, not SWTOR exactly but I tried putting WoW on a RAMDisk with ImDisk a year or two ago, but it was unstable for me. I haven't tried it in a while, but there is definitely loading performance improvements to be had by already having things in RAM, and assuming the RAMDisk is stable it should be pretty good.
I would not expect general framerate improvements from doing this, as when there's nothing loading/storing at the time this is going to have zero effect on performance. But, on the other hand, when stuff is loading/storing, the difference will be significant, so this may smooth what might otherwise feel like "lag spikes". (Though if this type of spiking is a common problem in the game, it's probably something for its developers to address by deferring some of that loading/storing...)
