Well, someone here posted that /var/tmp is supposed to persist between
reboots. So I'm not sure.
Anyway, I don't think it's going to make any difference in system
performance when putting /var/tmp on tmpfs. There's almost nothing in
there. Putting /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs is what's going to help with
emerges. It will give a bit better emerge times as well as lower
fragmentation on your disk.
