Unless I needed a really big /tmp, I've been using /tmp on tmpfs for years
(mfs on FreeBSD, tmpfs on solaris, and ramdisk on linux before tmpfs became
available). It was much faster than anything else... no disk i/o involved if
I had enough of memory, and I added the disk space as swap if I needed a bit
more space.
Try tmpfs on /tmp if you don't work with huge files in /tmp.
