Can someone please clarify the difference and if the speed difference (if any) is significant when using the async option instead of the soft-updates for cases such as the /usr/obj or as a squid data storage? Is async preferred over soft-updates when data loss is not a big issue? Please CC Thank you, Lefteris Tsintjelis ASDA
