Not really.  I was taking some of the views expressed here to their
(il)logical extreme.  Since I wrote the original mail, I've caught
up to the point where you backed these changes out and committed
a variant which (as I understood the comments) will be more generally
useful.

Of my comments, about the only one that might be worthwhile would
be changing from UFS to something that better meets a webserver's
access patterns.  I believe that FS access issues for webservers
are similar to those for news servers - and both Diablo and INN2
effectively implement their own filesystems to improve performance.
