Good point; thanks.  "lsof" is a superb tool, BTW...

OK.

The history is that I used to build from ports because the then-boss did, 
and I didn't even know about pre-built packages.  Then, one day, Ruby 
needed to be rebuilt, which promptly blew away /tmp i.e. swap...  I'm a 
big fan of TMPFS; I had it on the old BSDi box (where it was "mfs"), and 
even my old CP/M box (where it was "M:").
