Well, it's basically a RAM disk. It would be nice if tmpfs could use some of available swap, I suppose. Still, that "memory" is going to be gone on a reboot. So, don't reboot. :) I'm not sure I'd recommend it unless you're pretty sure of the size of possible objects in /tmp. It also seems from the brief description (haven't read the docs) that it would also eat more resources than necessary if you undercommit as well. I remember back in the DOS days we had RAM disks - and some software had fixed, bot others could dynamically resize depending on what's on the ram drive.
