    tmpfs - Cycle through buffer cache when pageout daemon is running
    
    * tmpfs usually allocates VM pages directly, but this can overwhelm
      the VM system in low-memory situations, causing processes to make
      very little progress in normal run-time operation if one or more
      of them are doing heavy writing to tmpfs.
    
    * Significantly improves dsynth performance in low-memory situations
      where multiple worker slots are in the install-pkgs phase.
