Well, I don't have any workloads that are doing high-speed create/remove of 
file in /tmp.

And I don't think most people have any of those types of workloads either.


Wouldn't it make sense that people with those types of workloads could enable 
/tmp on tmpfs?   

Rather than making it the default for everyone.
