9 Well, You should remove distfiles in portage tree after compilation. All
10 downloaded files are placed in distfiles directory, and this can take
11 Your free space. Also if You need to compile only some part of packages,
12 You can make bindings for some packeges and only a part of portage tree
13 store in tmpfs, and part bind by "mount -o bind" or "ln -sf" into tmpfs
14 tree from normal fs. Also I must warn You, that tmpfs is not good idea
15 to place portage tree because of system dependency like /proc or /sys.
16 Tmpfs is SHM.
