Thanks Cedric, I was thinking about that too. And since swapping is not so desirable in such an environment you can lower the swappiness. But I guess that may conflict again with your /tmp being on a temporary filesystem. > So answer is: it depends. On what you do.

Actually I have no idea what the programs I run do in /tmp. And given the fact that apparently some people had more issues (xruns) with the default swappiness of many systems than with a /tmp on a physical disk I'd assume not mounting /tmp to tmpfs would be a better option. Unless you got like 16Gb of RAM. Which I don't have.
