Interesting. Also having 16GB RAM I've limited /tmp to 10GB. I wonder
whether 13GB would offer any advantage. Unlikely, as the only time it
gets used in earnest is when compiling Firefox, OO and the like. Maybe I
should just remove the restriction and let the kernel optimise its own
use of swap and tmpfs.
This box spends well over 90% of its cycles on BOINC projects, which
crunch large numbers of numbers but don't take up a lot of space (by
modern standards).
