The recent change for grip was to create a tmpfs - it has a noticeable
speed improvement over using the disc. 

The process using the tmpfs is userspace, not root (although some of
the spawned processes run under fakeroot).

When the current grip-cron.sh run finishes (which is now taking longer
because of the lack of tmpfs), I will want to put a tmpfs
into /etc/fstab for /org/emdebian/tmpfs and it really needs to be at
least 512Mb, preferably 1Gb as that is the smallest that I've tested so
far.
