More like I'm damn tired of having to remeber to turn it on all my
machines in order to get decent performance when doing large amount
of directory ops.

I'm figuring the only time when it may be a problem is on machines
with a small amount of memory.  Since memory is cheap, I plan on
turning it on within the next couple of days unless a stability
issue comes up.

I'll leave it to those people with low memory to remember to turn
it off.
