Are you serious? The only people who care about performance are people who dig into the arcane configuration details of OSes ?? I don't think so.
Wasn't there a recent quote of the week along the lines of "We should make things simple and safe so that people don't *need* to carefully form good habits."?? I think that applies here to, only is so that people don't *need" to dig into arcane details.
I agree that we shouldn't make /tmp == tmpfs the default while it causes problems. But I do think that we should work to fix the problems so that we can do it safely.
