Remember swap is "RAM + swap devices".  The notion that "/tmp is
mounted on swap" says that the backing store for that file system may
be RAM and/or swap devices.  For performance reasons, RAM is
preferred.  It is only if you are running short on RAM that swap
devices should be seeing any I/O operations.
