Hehe.

Greg is correct - the performance regression with tmpfs/ramfs does exist
upstream and once a fix has been established will be dealt with. Right now we
are fousing on the 99% usage models which is solid state, rotational,
and flash (just got one of those) and the two patches outlined above are
needed for the stable trees.

Thank you.
