In the video https://youtu.be/6uCAdQSHhmA?t=1973 I see pagespeed has two different caches, "HTTP Content Cache" and "Metadata Cache". What is the difference between them?

Which of them must be on the disk? which of them can be on tmpfs?

See http://modpagespeed.jmarantz.com/2012/12/caching-in-modpagespeed.html for an in-depth explanation on caching in mod_pagespeed.
Hope that helps!

That helped, thanks.
So if I understood correctly HTTP Cache are the files fetched (js, css, images) while metadata cache is (roughly) information about transformed URLs, information about images, etc.
