this is especially funny considering that you are saying this to Gene,
the master of 'if it worked for him once, it will always be true' and
'overthink, overtinker, overreach every possible configuration option
and then bitch and moan about the problems that it creates down the
road'.

We are talking about the guy who builds everything as root, runs
everything including GUI as root, builds from tarballs and never
packages rpm's, compiles vanilla kernels without the redhat patches,
etc., uses samba instead of nfs to share files but still claims to not
use anything Windows, and as evidenced upthread, will spend endless
hours tinkering with partitioning because of self perceptive speed
improvements (no empirical tests mind you) and without bothering to
check if his hard drive is actually jumpered for the highest speed.

Thanks for the laugh
