I'm not sure I understand this. The VFS layer is the same regardless of which file system you use, so the BSD-like VFS layer is always going to be just that: BSD-like. > I run all those I install with UFS-only.

"Faster fs" is not one of the latter reasons. I'm curious if you've performed, or are aware of, some benchmarks that show UFS on Mac OS X to be faster overall than HFS +, assuming some reasonable definition of "faster". By the way, beginning with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), HFS+ comes in a case-sensitive flavor too.
