I read through that thanks, though not sure how well I understood it.
I figure that since the mounting to ram takes place before I decrypt the persistence drive then it is impossible that any files within it would make it to ram. This is a shame.

I suggest you experiment with ordinary Knoppix and encrypted persistence before you work with the toram option. Might get a better concept of Knoppix shame from that. And "mounting to ram" and a few other things too.
The ramdisk approach is quite viable nowadays: You could keep both the compressed DVD (cloop) image and 4GB persistent store in RAM and still have ca 8GB free on a 16GB system. Main obstacle is loading and saving time. Re media wear, reading isn't that hard on the card, so the cloop image could also be left on the card. Speed penalty is very much dependent on type of application.
