Huh? I'm not sure what you mean, I already have an SSD. That's the problem: it's very slow, random writes <100kB/s. And I strongly doubt that BFS can magically fix that.

What CAN fix it is a combination of: (i) write less, (ii) don't wait for writes. That's the point of the tuning. Nothing to do with process scheduling.

This was related to the original comment by kragil you replied to. An SSD won't fix the problems described in this thread.

Ah, then we're in full agreement. An SSD will in fact *cause* the problems
described in this thread.
