Holy smoke !  Mine is doing the same thing.

tmpfs                   7.9G  260K  7.9G   1% /run

But I also have this:

tmpfs                   7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /var/tmp/portage

So, between those two, I could run out of ram since I have 16Gbs.

There is now TWO people that needs a answer to this question.  Why does
it need that much anyway?  It looks to me like a few hundred Mbs, like
Jarry posted, would be plenty.  Jeepers creepers.  lol
