Dear all,

I am writing a program which generates lots of temp files,
and need to remove the unneeded ones (to save disk space)
during execution. Currently I put them into the /tmp directory,
but I found the performance very slow, especially during the
file remove phase when the number of files generated is large.
(Each file size is small, at a maximum of 16KB, though.)

What if you allocated your /tmp as a tmpfs mount?
