Don't worry about it. Buy your SSD (Solid state Storage Device) and
mount with the noatime option. Don't let someone scare you away from the
99.8% solution waiting for the 99.9% solution.

As for "emulating a hard drive", its only slow relative to potential
FLASH speeds. Its fast relative to hard drive speeds. Writing may not be
as fast as a "real" HD, YMMV.
