Which, btw, has been around for a looong time and a LOT of people have it installed. Without a hash collision. Not once. Now I haven't been reading these messages as carefully as I should have, after some time of being away, but seems to me no-one could explain why that hash collision came to be for that one guy. >Think I remember some other filesystem being really lightweight CPU. >UFS or something. But XFS shouldn't be too bad. Where does your >"probably" come from? UFS as in Unix File System? Eww.. Dunno about CPU usage, but I tested XFS once and it was painfully slow. Fortunately it got better, so maybe my test was somewhat flawed. Maybe the Namesys guys would want to release some new and up-to-date benchmarks now that the AMD64 panic bug is fixed? -- mjt
