Let's say it in this way:
on a 4GB machine if the application uses the RAM, it works until (4GB+swap),
but if the application uses a /tmp file, it works until 2GB!
...so using /tmp means you have less space... (facepalm)

/tmp has always historically been a place where you dump large data.
Disk size increases faster than RAM size.
Switching disk storage to RAM storage by default is simply wrong.
