Well, someone here posted that /var/tmp is supposed to persist between |
| 9 |
reboots. So I'm not sure. |

Anyway, I don't think it's going to make any difference in system |
| 12 |
performance when putting /var/tmp on tmpfs. There's almost nothing in |
| 13 |
there. Putting /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs is what's going to help with |
| 14 |
emerges. It will give a bit better emerge times as well as lower |
| 15 |
fragmentation on your disk. |
