Remote filesystems are one reason, another reason is that this is IMO
just unnecessary disk-IO which should be avoided. Think of hard drive
life times and maybe it can be also a performance issue on older
systems with older hard drives or when the hard drive is quite busy. I
really don't like this, it can cause heavy load when switching between
several times quickly.

Not yet, I need to play a bit more with your code. Just wait a few
days, no need to hurry and do things twice :D.
