   On my Cauldron 3 alpha1 install, its about 1 third of ram allocation.

   I won't argue there. But as far as I am concerned tmpfs is just a file   
   system on a very fast disk drive and its initial allocation is too   
   large.  I have seen about 10M of swap being used in my 4G setup after   
   sereral days of use.   
      
   Since I planned to have a few VirtualBox guests running at once, I   
   went and spent $33 for another 4G. A few days later I see I have used   
   10M of swap again.   :-(   
      
   My system usage pattern has not changed.
