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.
