It depends very much on a file system chosen. Back in the days
of True64 Unix  file system meta operations were a huge consumer
of I/O resources. Now with UFS on FreeBSD it hardly makes a
difference (probably similar for journalling file systems),
so I prefer to keep my tmp on a real disk, to avoid hitting
a file-system size limit to soon in case of some blunder.
