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.

And also means that my RAM will be hogged for this purpose, yes?

As for swap, you'd have to write junk to the partition on shut down.

How?

Or you could simply have enough RAM, that you don't need a swap.

How do you say about 1.5 GB? (Don't have it now, but planning to get.) --    (o-   Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org    //\   subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ...    V_/_  and modern computing efficiency! :)
