TEMP is a tablespace you wish to keep around at all times. If you delete it, your instance is hosed. Why would you wish to put in a place where it should be deleted on start up? /tmp is for files that are blow-away- able, not files you really need.

I'm curious why you waste memory on /tmp on an oracle system? I can think of many other files I would like to put into memory.
