I browed the thread and tried to figure out the significance of /tmp.
I couldn't really find anythning obvious, so just as a quick recap for the technically inclined
On my unraid setup, /tmp is not obviously backed by a ramdisk or anything too fancy:
root@nasbox:~# mountpoint /tmp/
/tmp/ is not a mountpoint
It's just a regular old folder on the 'root' filesystem. On unraid however, the root filesystem is running in RAM itself:

That would indeed help a bit with performance.
In this case, mounting /tmp would basically do the same as mounting /dev/shm to /transcode
I prefer /dev/shm/ since /tmp has a bunch of other things that I don't think Plex needs to have access to
