It can be, depending on the workload. I (as a Linux user) moved from ext3 to xfs, ignoring the warnings about file deletion [being slow]. Now I _kind of_ regret it. Seems I have more than one program on my laptop that deletes files (kmail's email-expiration thing comes to mind). I also work on a project that creates large log files an deletes them (periodically). When all these programs meet, I go for a coffee. :) -- Mihai Donțu _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
