Is anyone working on the idea of implementing BootCache for FreeBSD? MacOS
has this idea implemented
http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/optimizations and I was wondering if
FreeBSD had such an implementation. I think it would be especially usefull
for laptops and desktops with slow drives that run FreeBSD.
