Wait, why isn't your /tmp be mounted with tmpfs?
(Hm. Debian/Ubuntu
only mount /var/run on tmpfs by default; that might be it). No reason
for it not to be, really.
/tmp is tmpfs on Solaris because it's the default on that platform. It's not
on Linux because it's not the default there (at least not on Debian). Since we
haven't observed that file i/o on /tmp contributes to any kind of performance
issue, it was not worth the trouble to change it.
