I chose to use MFS for /tmp and symlinking /var/tmp and /usr/tmp to
/tmp for sake of speed.
No disk activity is involved when the temporary files on the MFS are
in use. (This slightly false if the MFS is paged out or swapped out
completely.)
If I want something preserved between reboots, I'll use /var/otmp
which is the original /var/tmp or my own ~/tmp directory.
