Softupdates are the FreeBSD equivalent. From my point of view they perform better than a traditional journaling FS (do a google search for the original usenix papers on these).
Journalling means not having to fsck the file system in the event of an unclean shutdown. So it's wrong to describe softupdates as equivalent. It's not. I also find they speed up I/O quite alot, esp for fast changing filesystems
like mail spools.
Certainly I have found using softupdates to be considerably faster than without. martin
