That's what most people are doing in the Linux world, and it completely
mitigates the disk speed bottleneck with only a minimum of filesystem
overhead, and leaves Paul and me free to not worry about the details too
much ;-)

Perhaps adding a config option for the location of the tmp filesystem
would be useful? Some admins might consider re-using an old
/var/spool/mail partition as their scratch space, or mount an in-memory
tmp filesystem at some alternate location.

Ah, or just wait a while and the FreeBSD folks will have their own
in-memory tmp filesystem: http://wiki.freebsd.org/TMPFS
