Yes.

You could run something like Norton's Speedisk or DOS's
defrag on an SRAM card in a thincard drive on a PC or notebook
computer... but see the next answer...

Nope. It's the mechanical read/write head traveling
around over a physical disk that slows down file access on
a disk drive. A RAMdisk has no such physical aspect, so
the difference in access time between a fragmented and an
unfragmented RAMdisk is negligible.
