also keep in mind the problems that firefox has where it can stall for significant amounts of time while it is doing an ACID update to it's bookmark file.
does that file _really_ need ACID protection? I don't think so, I think that just having a fairly recent backup is good enough.

The long lag is really a filesystem bug. Newer filesystems have fixed the problem. Firefox shouldn't lag on ext4, xfs or btrfs.

the really long lag was a combination of an Ext3 bug and the fact that the browser was trying to get ACID protection of the file.
I still don't think that's appropriate.
