On a Unix/Linux/BSD device /tmp tends to see heavy usage. I've moved
   mine into RAM to ever-so-slightly improve performance and more
   significantly reduce SSD I/O.

   To do this I edited
/etc/fstab

   as root with my favourite editor. I added the following line at the
   end:
tmpfs           /tmp            tmpfs   defaults,noatime  0       0
tmpfs           /var/tmp        tmpfs   defaults,noatime  0       0

   You can reboot at this point and you're all set. You could manually
   mount this but it could cause problems with your system.

   UPDATE: Ubuntu and Lotus Notes for Linux don't like mounting /tmp as
   nosuid and noexec.

   Let me know if you do this and how it works for you.
