Greetings,

I just finished installing 4.3-RELEASE on my IBM Thinkpad whose
partitions look like this:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a   8711619  1720740  6293950    21%    /
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

During installation, I chose "softupdates" for my / partition.  It now
seems as if file manipulation operations are slower than they should
be.  Is this my imagination, or has softupdates slowed things down?
Should I disable softupdates with tunefs?

Regards,
Graham
