The tempdb is defined as a universal resource accessible by users of a given instance. Such objects as temporary tables , temp tables when recordsets are being sorted etc , are kep in there.
It is recommended that you place the tempdb on a fast I/O disk, preferably separate from the data and ldf files. Chek "tempdb performance " in SQL Books Online
