I'm not certain but you seem to be saying that A/UX will be SLOW.  At least
that its file system will be slow.  Well, I've heard that that's just not the
case.  Apple has gone to considerable trouble to beef up the file system
performance.  All I've got to go on is rumors, but it sounds like their system
should *fly*.

In addition, the BSD file system doesn't really seem to be all it's cracked up
to be.  It seems to be somewhat over-engineered.  So just because A/UX is using
the System V file system doesn't mean it'll be that slow.
