If it's only temporarily, I would probably do a bind-mount. Just create ~/tmp-tmp, as root cp -a /tmp ~/tmp-tmp/, mount -o bind ~/tmp-tmp/tmp /tmp. (Sorry for the many tmps. :)) But I never had that issue in several years running sid on a laptop with 4GB RAM and /tmp as tmpfs. > 2.

They would do that if there was a way to know in advance. I don't think it's possible to do more than a wild guess which I assume could still be off by a factor of two or more.
