Did anyone benchmark if this makes any real difference, on a set of machines and file systems?
Say typical x86 laptop+server, arm64 SoC+server, GitLab/GitHub shared runners, across ext4, xfs, btrfs, across modern SSD, old SSD/flash and spinning rust. If eatmydata still results in a performance boost or reliability improvement (due to reduced wear and tear) on any of those platforms, maybe we can recommend that instead. /Simon
