In my opinion its more important to be safe out of the box and leave performance and optimization as a task for a sysadmin that has enough clue to do such things. I don't mean to say that performance is not an issue or not important, this is of course incorrect. Safe by default with speed available to those who care to find out how. I think that the alternative is some what irresponsible. Its not as if 4.3 is actually slower when properly setup, its the same reasoning as not using async mounts on hard discs by default. Just my thoughts, Have a nice day. [ I've cc'ed -chat in the hope of moving the conversation onto that list as requested. If anyone responds please drop -hackers.
