Wait a minute. Back in this thread it says that half of RAM is
allocated to the tmpfs for /tmp.
Not exactly. The default size limit for a tmpfs mount is half of RAM;
the RAM is not allocated exclusively to the tmpfs. The files in a tmpfs
mount live in the page cache and can be swapped out if needed.
