It allows me to del^W read NFS-mounted mail behind a linux router while I copy files locally on the router. If I don't apply mini-ll to the router, it's a "server foo not responding, still trying" fest. You know what "interactivity feel" means when it happens.
If someone suspects the hardware is crap, it's a PIV motherboard with built-in Promise20265 and four IBM IC35L060AVER07-0 on their own channel. Each disk has been able to behave normally during RAID1 rebuild.
Without mini-ll: well choosen file I/O => no file I/O, no networking, no console, *big pain*. With mini-ll: well choosen file I/O => *only* those I/O suck (less than before btw).
