So if my /tmp file is always empty does that mean that any files created
are always being cleaned up?

I should not assume that it is not using them at all should I?

In that case is there a rule of thumb to use on /tmp file size based on
the size of the queries. Some sort of ratio.

I do not remember seeing anything about it in the docs, but that does
not mean it's not there. As I have proven in the past to miss the
obvious in the docs. :)

I do not mean to, but my little brain can only take in so much at one
time. :)
