1Gb just because it's peanuts to a 200Gb disk, and I don't bother with

I use one because, by default, / is mounted without soft-updates. It is
possible to turn it on, but for the sake of a few hundred MB it seems
sensible to go with the default of a separate partition.
If I ran a machine with users on it, I might agree :-) But there's just
me and I set TMP and TMPDIR to /var/tmp which many programs used to pick
up on when I first set them years ago. sort does, for e.g. and that was
always a tmp killer in the kind of environments I worked in. Plus *I*
know to use /var/tmp.
Nowadays my /tmp has a small number of sockets and gubbins so I doubt
softupdates would make any perceivable difference to me.
