This summary is dedicated to those who either forget or just
plain didn't know.

I asked if anyone had a clue to why /tmp was dynamically increaing and
decreeasing.

The answer was tmp was using tmpfs. tmpfs shares between swap and the
partion using tmpfs in this and most cases it is /tmp. The more swap
space that the system needs the more space it will take from /tmp.
