It is also within the realm of possibility that /tmp is a tmpfs 
filesystem if this is a newish box.  Which means that it's potentially
stored in swap at least some of the time.

Which will never matter a tad unless the box also has so little virtual
memory that a 50MB tmpfs crowds out the system.

The question is worth asking if you're used to Solaris.  Mounting swap
as /tmp is pretty common there, I think it might even be part of the
default install.
