Do the memfs filesystems, /tmp and /var/tmp, use 50MB of RAM?

The memfs filesystems are not exactly like ramdisks that reserve a section of ram. Memfs uses ram dynamically. If the directories are empty, the ram is not used.

   The memfs filesystems on UnixWare 7/OpenServer 6 default to 10 MB for /tmp
  and 40 MB for /var/tmp, which is not used when the directories
  are empty.  It's safe to make them around 100 MB if you want, during
  the ISL.
