Having /var (more precisely /var/lib/mock and /var/cache/mock) on SSD is 
important for mock. It speeds up mock-building rpms significantly.

However, this price for this is pretty high, because mock adds quite 
significant amounts of additional diskspace requirements. Without mock, 
a Fedora installation easily fits on 32GB (and less), when working w/ 
mock you need much more.
