For the record, I haven't seen any statistics for the tmpfs side. I
also haven't heard anything except unproven claims of fragmentation
from the tmpfs side.
I've seen several statistics showing faster times using disk access.
While it hasn't been shown, I believe it's trivial that it uses less
memory.

The original way...You mean as in "Oh, well that's just the way it's
*always* been done..."
While you're at it, someone should put in an "add 5% to compile
time" option for fun. ; ) Freedom of choice and all that.
Oh wait...It's the default setting. Never mind.
