I believe PS designed to use scratch disk to memorize the changes you done
during editing, it is not related to how many system/photoshop memory you
have. The temp file will be the same size for the same editing you done on
the image.
If it is related to the system or photoshop memory, then when I edit a very
small file it should not need a temp file but I just tried a 20KB file, the
temp file still increase in size when I make multiple changes on the image.
