I've yet to see a system that IMHO tops what Mark Harris did a few years 
ago part of his doctoral thesis.

See http://www.lfstech.com/img/sfo_clouds.jpg.

Someone made a decision a few years ago to replace rather than improve.  
Think we all lost a very promising
implementation, but there might be an opportunity to recover what was lost.

Stay tuned...
