/dev/shm size?

So, I just noticed that /dev/shm is 4 gig on my system with 8 gig of main memory. Does fedora always just automatically take half the memory for /dev/shm (I've never seen it say more than 1% was in use, so I'm not sure why it thinks it needs half). Does tempfs really grab all that memory up front?
