If you burn DVDs, you need to be able to set the software to use
somewhere other than /tmp to create its temporary files.  Else, you're
going to need at least 5 gigs of spare RAM for your tmpfs /tmp, to hold
an entire DVD ISO.

There's probably some other applications which make big temp files, too,
but that's the one that springs to mind.
