Hi,

I was wondering if there is a real perferomance comparison between
softupdates and journaling file systems available for Linux systems.  One
thing I still don't like about FreeBSD is the file (copying, deleting,
extracting... etc) system performance.  Linux seems to be much faster in
(copying, deleting, extracting.....) files than FreeBSD even with "async"
option enabled in fstab.  How good is softupdates compared to those
already maturing journaling file systems available to Linux?
