From Ubuntu Community Documentation: The swappiness parameter controls the tendency of the kernel to move processes out of physical memory and onto the swap disk. Because disks are much slower than RAM, this can lead to slower response times for system and applications if processes are too aggressively moved out of memory. swappiness can have a value of between 0 and 100 swappiness=0 tells the kernel to avoid swapping processes out of physical memory for as long as possible swappiness=100 tells the kernel to aggressively swap processes out of physical memory and move them to swap cache

tmpfs is a filesystem that mounted into a Linux Operating System which uses storage space from the physical memory (RAM). The advantage of using tmpfs is to improve file reads and writes performance and reduce writes to HDD and SSD storage system.

noatime, nodiratime and relatime are disk mount options to disable access time information updates onto every file or directory the system access. By using these options, disk writing activity can be reduce significantly. This is useful for Solid State Drive (SSD) or to encourage Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to spin down and save power.
