Something that you can do if you have applications that generate a lot of temp files - say like Ultraedit that saves a temp file for every file you edit/open/make...(this is configurable in the settings in most apps btw) is create and use a ROM disk to store temp files.
That way, if the temp files are not important it deletes them when you reboot/turn off your machine.
Do this ONLY if you have a lot of RAM in your box. At least 512.
But, for useless temp files it's the way to go.
I read an article about it in 2600 Hacker Quarterly...it's a good trick to store data that you don't want laying around on your drive - if you catch my drift.
I do it for my browser cache...and cookies, that way I don't have to manually clean them all the time.
