Agree with Doug.  Fuse is generally much slower than native access, and has=
 higher CPU cost as well.  My poor athlonxp 2k+ jumps to 100% CPU usage whe=
n I copy files from either an ext4fuse or ntfs-3g filesystem to UFS.  Pleas=
e do not remove native access, and I would like to see even more native sup=
port.
