What if we looked at the size of available swap rather than RAM?
People don't really expect to have their actual memory eaten by something
that appears to be a disk filesystem (and used to be one). I'd say that
eating some of swap space would be less surprising.
In other words: a machine with 64MB RAM + swap will want to use tmpfs (much
faster than a regular filesystem), but one with 1-2GB and no swap probably
won't.
