Not sure how much memory you have, but a 6Gig ramdisk mounted at
/var/tmp/portage is sufficient to compile openoffice. That speeds

The same size of tmpfs on /tmp also works even if you have only 4GB RAM,
as I have. When it gets too full it just starts swapping.
In my experience if it starts swapping, that is much slower than just
using disk for /tmp in the first place. YMMV :)
My thought was that at least portage wouldn't stop the compile when it
ran out of room. I usually put /var on a separate partition and always
forget that OOo needs some space. I usually don't give it enough the
first time around. Doesn't OOo need about 4 or 5Gbs now?
