tmpfs should only be used if you got plenty of RAM. If your machine is
swapping to get work done tmpfs can in fact make the system slower.

That remark is missing from the wiki. And I have seen tmpfs shoot a
system to pieces on more then 1 occasion. Just send it some exploding
file and it will eat up RAM by the bushel.

In general: You can never have too much RAM for MS. But you sure can
have insufficient RAM to work well.
