One option is tmpfs. Put something like this in /etc/fstab:
none /tmp tmpfs nodev,noexec 0 0
and everything in /tmp will be deleted whenever the system is rebooted
or powered down (unless you hibernate).
If you have plenty of memory, files in /tmp might never actually reach
disk, which can improve performance on some tasks. Otherwise, the system
will use the same algorithm as it uses for other files as to when to
reclaim the memory they use, at which point it will write them to swap.
Hope this helps,
James.
