Okay.

               FFS         AFS
100% Safe      no          no
Invalidatable  yes         no
Killable       yes         yes
Non Fixable    no          yes
Supported      yes         hmmmm

So theres not much in it. AFS is faster and devalidation proof. Thats it.

> BTW I never got 99% here...

You won't get 50% on AFS. When it dies, it does it 100% effectively.
