  Yes, it's a trade-off.

  The other trade-off someone pointed out is that if you use hard user
quotas on the mail partition, then popper will be unable to allocate
space for the temp file once the user is past half their hard quota.

  There is an option to put the cache files somewhere else should you
want to.
