It's an extreme example, but timely because I was only doing it a few
hours before. Even on HD, FFS is a *lot* slower than PFS. Unless you run
unstable software, the speed is more often an advantage than the
crash-resistance.

The person that runs PFS so it doesn't hurt when their applications
crash probably drives a Volvo.
