It would be possible but a pita to maintain.  I have never used heap 
tables for anything other than entirely disposable data - session data 
for example.  I guess you could backup to disk nighlty at a quiet time 
so you only lose 24 hours of data.

If noise is your issue a diskless setup has to be something to look at?
