Really? The lat time I tried putting /tmp on tmpfs on this box, I had
problems when VMware tried to save 512MB files there. I use it on my
laptop though.

I'll give it another try, perhaps things have changed since I last used
it, although Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt warns of the dangers of
setting the size too high. Thinking about it, my problems may have been
caused by the default size being to low.

Even so, you'd need a huge swap partition to build OOo in tmpfs.
