I leave mine on too.  I figure the ram will not suffer wear and tear
like a hard drive will.  Compiling is a good bit of writing, deleting
and such and I just think doing that in ram, since it is temporary
anyway, is a better deal in the long run.  I would think that would be a
good idea when using a SSD. 

Off topic a bit.  I been using ext4 for my file system since I moved
drives around.  It has a defrag tool that is just plain wonderful.  For
anyone that uses ext4, try the command e4defrag.  It's simple to use. 
To check it, e4defrag -c <device, mount point or even a specific file or
directory>.  If you want it to actually defrag it, just remove the -c
option.  I find that after a big update, like KDE, it helps to defrag
/usr.  I defrag my /home on occasion too.  I'm still downloading a LOT
of TV shows and movies.  That goodness for LVM.
