How about "Temp blocks"? It might be slightly confusing that access to 
temporary tables shows up in "Local blocks", rather than "Temp blocks", 
though. But then again, temp_tablespaces already controls where the 
files are created, among other things, so there's some precedence to 
calling those things "temp".
