This doesn't sound like a good idea to me, given the prevalence of
running Ubuntu on virtual machines with less than 4GB of RAM. I'm
thinking specifically of hosting providers like Linode, AWS,
DigitalOcean, etc., as well as tools like Vagrant, all of which are
extremely popular right now.  Using tmpfs on a machine with so little
RAM doesn't sound like it will really help performance because the gain
in speed accessing /tmp is offset by having to swap to disk.
