On Debian (and I must say Jessie too to bracket the time since this has been changing in recent history) /run is a tmpfs just like /dev/shm and /var/run is a symlink that points to /run. Using /var/run for this will be just as fast as /dev/shm. AFAIK /dev/shm is the domain for use by libc. It has also become very popular to use /tmp as a tmpfs too. However that conflicts with various historical usage. Therefore whether you use /tmp as a tmpfs is really more of a local system configuration rather than as a blanket statement. Bob
