Using custom kernels one can free up some more space in ws memory by
including support for shmfs (something like 'virtual fs', section
filesystems during kernel config).
It is then possible to skip the ram disk for /tmp, using shmfs instead.
shmfs has the advantage to be resizable, i.e. only the needed memory is
occupied. Compared to the standard size of the ram disk for /tmp one can
gain nearly one meg of ram.
Perhaps this is also of interest if there is plenty of ram, cause shmfs
is usable for swapping, too.
