Is there, then, a way to empty /tmp and swap everytime I shutdown? You could create a symlink from /tmp to /dev/shm. This means that your /tmp will be on a RAM disk.

I would not recommend this. Some programs write sizeable files to /tmp.

This is where things get interesting. You have a RAM disk, that's holding so much data that it has to write to swap. ;-)
