Tempfs question

[Andrew MacLachlan]

This isn't a queue (just a temporary working directory), so it's fine to
use tmpfs there (more than fine - I prefer it!)

As per my knowledge, you must not use a tmpfs on a queue, if your host
goes down, you'll loose the messages awaiting to 
be processed by MS.
i'm using the tmpfs only for bayesian DB (with a periodic dump on a real
fs to save it) and for the scanning purposes.
