Re: IFS ownership

Measurable to the point that the guy with the checkbook had pen in hand,
ready to sign.

But I can't help but wonder if you are paying tribute to a thread I had

years ago where I thought SSD's were a great solution after an experiment
at the IBM Labs only to find out the real improvement came because
journaling was turned off during the restore.

No. If I ever was aware about this thread, I have forgotten about it.

But your finding is not really surprising me.

It was discovered that adding the H/A Journal Performance option of OS

was a much better bang for the buck than SSDs (for that problem at hand).

Well, this is the same trade-off we face over many layers of computing.
Write caching does wonders for performance, but you might lose data in face
of some kinds of hardware failure or power outage.

Also, all things becoming faster is a thing. Decades ago "tenfold" meant
accelerating a task from 100 seconds down to 10. Today, it's a more about
0.1 second compared to 0.01 seconds. Barely noticeable. Depending on the
task, though.

:wq! PoC
