It works particularly well if your working set fits in the cache (I suppose that's true of most things). It wouldn't take much to get OpenAFS in pretty good shape on FreeBSD. It mostly has some locking and vnode ref count issues that shouldn't be too hard to fix for someone who knows what they're doing. I'd be happy to point anyone in the right direction.
