See Bruce Evans contribution: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200707201706.l6KH6vaQ000567 "msdosfs is now only slightly slower than ffs with soft updates for writing and slightly faster for reading when both use their best block sizes. Writing is slower for msdosfs because of more sync writes. Reading is faster for msdosfs because indirect blocks interfere with clustering in ffs." -- Michel TALON
