All very interesting, but a small point has been forgotten
hasnt it ? The way I read this thread is that until recentlly
write-caching was enabled by default and has now been disabled (hence
the original obseravtion of disc performance dropping).

I havent noticed that FreeBSD has a bad reputation for loss of data
in the event of am power outage, and my own experience backs this up.
As so many people appear to have been running it this way by default until
now you might have though that if it were a serious problem in reality then
people would have noticed by now ?
