FYI, it is only soft updates (really bufdaemon, through which all the
I/O passes) that has performance problems under high load on 6.x
compared to 4.x.  Other mount modes perform quite a bit better
(e.g. 30% faster for async write performance) than 4.x on the hardware
I tested.

P.S. Don't link to the above URL, I need to send it to Dan for
publication on the BSDCan site, to which you should link instead.
