Hi,
with your small amount of memory tmpfs hurts you more than helps you. The
small compilations might to be sped up. But what about the big ones?
Slow downs, because swap is used. Big slow downs, because swap is horribly
slow. Slow downs in daily usage because space that could be used for
cache&buffers is wasted for tmpfs.
In your case: get 2gb (minimum!) first before playing around with tmpfs.
