Performance-wise, the impact isn't as bad as it used to be -- but it is still
significant.  Why do you want to do both?  The only benefit is to provide a
complete audit trail, which really doesn't come in handy that often.  BTW,
programs using commitment control automatically switch journaling to both
whether you want to or not...
