I have read somewhere that tmfps is never moved to swap. Anyway, I prefer not using swap at all. And I have better use for physical memory than holding some more-or-less statical data... I always liked Gentoo because it gives me complete freedom and control over my system. *I* could decide what I want to use or not. And I'd be very dissapointed if Gentoo one day goes to "YouCanNotTurnThisOffBecauseWeKnowWhatIsTheBestForYou" way...
