What is this "term=wx"; is that an out-of-tree gnuplot driver,
or something else entirely?

In most unix/linux systems *all* files are cached in memory
to the extent possible. 

Or do you mean that rather than reading from a real file,
you want gnuplot to read from a shared-memory area?
That would be possible, but probably unnecessary.
You could achieve much the same thing with no change to existing
code by using a named pipe rather than a file.  I think there's
a Python-based demo on the web site that provides an example of this.
