Well, at the moment I havent had much time to play around with it, but I am
planning some tests, because I really dont think my filesystem is as fast as
expected. Im running on 4  9Gb 10K RPM disks, and except when copying 100+MB
files to /dev/null (approx 18Mb / s) i dont get much faster acx than 2-4Mb /
s, which I have seen better (this is on 3.4-RELEASE).

Also the searchtime is very slow, and a script like
/etc/periodic/weekly/310.blabla which I thought would be much faster, isnīt
compared to a regular IDE disk. But also normal system usage (this is my
workstation) doesnīt seem to have speeded up much.
I tried experimenting with SOFTOPTIONS, no luck.
