In WM2003 the temp files always went to \TEMP. On WM5 most of these now go to \Application Data\Volatile, which is in your (slow) flash memory.

You can speed up a few things, as well as opening up more room by moving this folder to your SD card.

Open a registry editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys and edit the TempPath key.

I changed mine to \SD Card\Volatile. You may need to create the Volatile folder on your SD card (not sure--it may do it automatically).
