Dunno! You have an XS-on-XO SD card? You look like a candidate to

[ In general, we're memory and i/o bound. So if it reduces memory
footprint or disk IO it's a win. If not, it may be a marginal win...
and we enter complexity/benefit tradeoffs. OTOH, if it's tuned to
super-scalar CPUs it won't be pretty. ]
