In all my years hacking UNIX systems I've never cared how fast
soft links are vs hard links, or hard links vs aliases, or whatever.
It simply does not matter, you don't notice the difference.
99.99999% of the time one is worrying about the billions of read() and
write() calls you need to make rather than the *one* time you need to
open the file.
Give me a break!
