It would be a waste on /tmp since /tmp is cleared on reboot you don't
need to waste time on a fsck.   I just have extra swap and have tmp on a
tmpfs.  /tmp doesn't usually get used much so it may as well reside in
memory.  Combined with an encrypted swap it gives handy encrypted
filesystem for some scratch work.
