:Let me tell you a situation where there is a clear performance loose when
:using soft links.
:
:Heavy used Solaris mail server. /var/mail softlinked to /export/mail (lot
:of space there).
:Having around 7000+ users, support calls about "mail retreival is slow"
:started to appear.
:Solution: Compile POP3d to use /export/mail directly. Everyone happy again.

:Regards.
