Sticky keyboard there Warner? On a more serious note the fact that the controllers lie about the underlying location of data, the impact of skipping the TRIM requests can have a much more serious impact than one might think depending on the drive, so this type of optimisation can significantly harm performance instead of increasing it. This was the main reasons we sponsored the initial ZFS TRIM implementation; as drive performance go so bad with no TRIM that SSD's performed worse than HDD's. Now obviously this was some time ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's bad hardware / firmware like this still being produced. Given that might be a good idea to make this optional, possibly even opt in not opt out?
