Joe,
I can't tell you exactly what has changed in the FFS, or exactly
when it changed.
However, if the last time they checked anything was a year
ago…things definately changed since then.
Yes…an improved filesystem will show a speed up even on a fast
drive.
I've never used an ALF, so can't be sure what their prep software
does, but strongly suspect it's loading a version of FFS from disk into the
rigid disk blocks (RDBs).
IF you've got time to play…see what happens if you tell it NONE.
OF course, make a backup before you do anything.
Don
